Chai Spiced Baked Oatmeal

Porridge, overnight oats, oat smoothies, banana oat loaf, oaty bites, oat cookies, granola, flapjacks - not much you can’t do when it comes to variation with oats. And now I bring you baked oatmeal. Whatta brekkie! Y’all know I love my chai flavours so I threw some cardamom, cinnamon and saffron in there and topped with crushed pistachios. This is a wonderful way to start your day and is of course free from gluten, dairy, refined sugar and eggs.

Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 2 cups milk of choice (I used oat, unintentionally!)
• 2 mashed bananas
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ground cardamom
• ground cinnamon
• a few saffron strands
• drizzle of date syrup
• chopped nuts of choice to top (optional)

Method

Preheat the oven to 180*, mix all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well, then spoon into a baking dish and bake for around 25 minutes. Serve with yoghurt (I used Nush) or cashew butter!

Love & health,

Lauren
