Ingredients for the Baked Oats
- 1 ripe banana
- 200 ml (plant-based) milk
- 40 g oats
- 1 tsp ground flaxseed
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 30 g WAM Protein Banana Bread
- 1 apple
- Cinnamon
- Agave or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan or conventional).
- Mash the banana in a bowl. Add the milk, oats, flaxseed, vanilla extract, and WAM Protein. Stir well until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into an oven-safe dish.
- Slice the apple into thin pieces or small cubes (no need to peel) and spread them evenly over the top. Sprinkle generously with cinnamon and, if desired, drizzle with agave or maple syrup.
- Bake the mixture for 20–25 minutes at 180°C until the apple pieces are golden.
- Let the baked oats cool slightly and enjoy them warm – either straight from the dish or sliced into portions.
Tips and Variations for Baked Oats
- Microwave Option: If you’re in a rush, you can prepare this recipe in the microwave. Simply cook for 5–6 minutes on high power until the apples are tender. The texture will be softer than when baked in the oven.
- Texture: This base recipe yields a soft texture. If you prefer a firmer consistency (e.g., for slicing as a snack), use less milk (around 150 ml) or a mix of milk and yoghurt. You can also add 1/2 tsp of baking powder for a firmer bake.
- Storage: This recipe makes one meal-sized portion. If it’s too much or you want to prep ahead, store the baked oats in the fridge for up to 3-4 days and reheat as needed.
- Variations: Experiment with other fruits like pears instead of apples, or add chopped almonds, walnuts, or chocolate chips. You can also replace the maple syrup with other sweeteners or mix it directly into the batter. For baked oats without banana, swap it for apple purée.
