Our Blackberry & Apple Baked Oats are so easy to throw together. The ingredients can be combined ahead of time (this makes it even tastier) and popped in the oven whilst you’re getting ready in the morning.
It’s a real crowd pleaser, and something that will keep you going for hours.
Cook a large batch and breakdown into portions for the week ahead. Alternatively, make a large tray for the whole family to enjoy on a busy weekday morning.
Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan
Add the milk, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg and apple to a small saucepan
Cover and gentle bring to a simmer for 10-12 minutes, letting the ingredients infuse
Set aside to cool for 15 minutes
Discard the cinnamon sticks after cooling
Pour the infused milk and apples into a large bowl before gently crushing some of the apple with the back of a fork – you don’t need to be too precise with this
Add the oats, egg, almond extract, baking powder, almonds and blackberries to the bowl
Pour the mixture into an ovenproof dish and cook for 30-35 minutes, or until cooked through
Serve with 50g of low-fat natural yoghurt, 1 tsp almond butter and a sprinkling of cinnamon
