I love making this slow-cooked baked oats dish for the family at the weekend – it’s so easy to throw together, and the smell that fills the kitchen while it bakes is just incredible. The kids love it because it’s warm, sweet, and comforting, and I love that it’s packed with goodness. It’s a brilliant way to get in six plant points before the day has even started, and each serving is high in fibre, with around 10g per portion to help keep you feeling full and energised. The oats, coconut, berries, and nuts bring a mix of textures and flavours, making this a nourishing but delicious way to start the day.
Serves 4.
Ingredients:
Method
Preheat the oven to 160°C fan.
In a large bowl, mix the oats, desiccated coconut, plant milk, sliced bananas, berries, maple syrup, until well combined. Drizzle the nut butter on the top and gently fold it through.
Pour the mixture into a baking dish (about 25 × 20 × 6cm).
Bake slowly for 30 minutes, until the oats are golden and bubbling at the edges. It should still have a slight wobble in the centre.
Remove from the oven, and let it sit for a minute or two to cool a little before serving.
Spoon into bowls and top with a generous dollop of coconut yoghurt, some chopped nuts or extra nut butter and fresh berries.
