Apple Crumble Baked Oats

28 Mar

As I write this, I’m sitting at my dining table dressed in the slouchiest clothes possible with a tasselled poncho over the top as i’m feeling kinda chilly. Proper working from home vibes going down.

To be fair, I’m often working from home, but now the whole world is in on the act due to Coronavirus I’ve upped my game on the fashion agenda. ;-)

So how are you doing? Really…

...Happy? Frustrated? Hanging in there?

Whatever you're feeling right now, I hope to have something to lift your spirits whilst in social isolation. With the launch of the new website, I wanted to kick start with a few recipes for you to try out. Many of these can be made without BYB Toppers - BUT they are of course extra yummy if you buy yourself a pack to use… just sayin’

This morning, I treated myself to an epic breakfast using the Apple Crumble Toppers. Super easy and an epic breakfast treat. I hope you enjoy it too!

If you haven't already I'd love you to come hang out with me on Instagram and you make the recipe I would LOVE you to take a pic and tag me! If there is anything I need right now, it is a little more connection - and I reckon the humble oat can do just that! :-)

Apple Crumble Baked Oats

Serves two (or one very hungry person) and easy to double/triple

Ingredients:

1 cup porridge oats
1.5 cups milk of choice*
2 tbs flax seed/ground nuts/chia seed (optional)
1 tsp ground ginger or cinnamon (optional)
1 eating apple - halved and cored
2 large handfuls Boost Your Bowl Apple Crumble Toppers or finely chopped dried fruit (dates, cranberry or apricot are all great but any work!)

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Mix together everything except the apple in a medium bowl. Grate half the apple and mix in, thinly slice the other half of the apple.

Lightly oil a small oven dish and spoon in the mix. Arrange the apple slices on top. Bake for approx 20 mins until golden. Serve as it is or with a dollop of yoghurt. (*I use non-dairy milk and yoghurt)

This is also great served cold. It will store well in the fridge for a couple of days.
