Baked Oats

Baked porridge is one of my favourite breakfasts to make on the weekend. It's so warming and delicious - perfect for the cold winter months that are rapidly approaching..

..and by cold, I mean rain.

The riper your banana is, the sweeter and creamier this will be. I like to make mine with cinnamon and maca but you can add whatever you like really! 

Serves 1. I make mine in a small square dish, around 10cm x 10cm!

Ingredients
50g oats
1/2 tsp cinnamon 
1/2 tsp baking powder
120ml almond milk
1 ripe banana (if it's a big banana, reduce milk to 100ml or just use half)
1 egg white

Optional: 1 tsp maca powder, blueberries, frozen raspberries, walnuts

Method
1. Place the oats, cinnamon and baking powder (and maca if you are using it) in a bowl and mix to combine.

2. Pour in the almond milk and leave to soak for 10 mins.

3. Mash the banana. Separate your egg and whisk the white in a small cup.

4. Add the banana and egg white to the oats. Add your extras like fruit or nuts and stir to combine everything.

5. Smooth the top of the mix and bake in a preheated oven at 150 degrees C for 20 mins.

6. Serve with fresh fruit, nut butter, compote, yogurt, granola, cacao nibs - whatever takes your fancy!
