FRUITS OF THE FOREST BAKED OATMEAL


Oats, oatmeal, porridge - it doesn't matter what you call it, this breakfast is for everyone because it's basically like eating cake (alright healthy cake) for breakfast. Ok so you don't like berries, add tropical fruit if you don't like fruit add pb and chocolate, it's entirely up to you - just make sure you bake it! This adds an entirely new dimension to oats and I absolutely love it.


Ingredients:

- 12tbsp oats
- 2 mashed bananas
- 100g frozen berries
- 1.5 tsp baking powder (I like to use Doves Farm Organic)
- Tbsp chia seeds
- Tbsp flaxseed
- 1.5 cups of almond milk
- Tsp vanilla
- Tbsp agave syrup
- Handful of berries for topping (frozen or fresh)
- 2 tbsp almond butter for topping
- Casserole/oven proof baking dish

Instructions:

1.) Preheat oven to 200c (fan assisted ovens).
2.) Put all the ingredients listed into an oven proof crockery dish, minus the toppings. Mix together with a wooden spoon.
3.) Bake for around 20-25mins until the top is slightly golden and crispy but the middle is soft.


This to me says Winter in a bowl. It's one of those extra special breakfasts that can be shared with family over the holidays or the weekend when you have a bit of extra time to spare. Baking it in a casserole dish adds to the homely, rustic feel of this dish that instantly transports you to a cosy country farmhouse!


Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all my readers! I still have lots of festive recipes to share with you guys so keep popping back over the Holidays!
