A breakfast switcharoo today. Felt like something warm after all these grey days. These baked oats hit the spot. I had some overnight oats in the fridge (just 1 cup of oats mixed with 2 cups coconut milk + chia) and this morning I just mixed those up with some banana, sunflower seeds, raspberries and green apple. Baked at 400 for about 25 minutes (good time to shower and get dressed) and VOILA! A quick drizzle of almond butter and a dab of raw honey = perfection! Oats are an amazing source of fibre (and yes, even contain protein) so this kind of breakfast really “sticks to your ribs” and keeps you satisfied through the morning.
- 1 c rolled oats
- 2 c coconut milk (or any nut milk)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
- ½ c frozen fruits (raspberries) - optional
- ½ sliced banana - optional
- ½ chopped green apple - optional
- handful of nuts or seeds (sunflower) - optional
- 1 tsp cinnamon - optional
- drizzle almond butter - optional
- dab of raw honey
- Place in large container, stir or shake vigorously and let sit overnight in fridge.
- In the morning, preheat oven (or toaster oven) to 400F.
- For a 2-person serving size, lightly grease a small casserole dish with coconut oil.
- In mixing bowl, combine 2 cups overnight oats with frozen berries, sliced banana, favourite nuts or seeds, cinnamon and apple (or whatever combination of fruits and nuts that floats your boat).
- Pour into casserole dish and bake 20-30 minutes (while you go get ready for the day) until golden on top.
- Spoon into bowls and drizzle nut butter and raw honey on top and enjoy!
This looks like a great idea, I would use seeds instead of nuts, and apples oatmeal and cinnamon is like dessert. Thanks for breakfast ideas 🙂
