Overnight oats are great but they are cold and in the winter you sometimes want somethng warm. So I thought I would give baked oats a try. I found a carrot cake based recipe so thought I would give them a try and I wasn't dissapointed.
Recipe
2 Medium ripe bananas, mashed
2 cup rolled oats
30g vanilla protein powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 flat tsp baking powder
1 medium carrot, grated
1/4 cup pecans/walnuts, crushed
1-2 tbsp honey/maple syrup/ alternative (based on preferences)
2 cups of milk of choice (I used skimmed)
Method
Combined all ingredients in an overn proof dish and bake on 180 degrees for 20-25 mins (or until golden brown on top.
Divide into 8 portions - This should equal 166 cals per portion.
Very filling and great as a cake bar snack or heat up as a warm breakfast. The portions don't look big but trust me they are filling. I put mine in the freezer so I can just ping a portion in the microwave when I want some (labelled of course lol).
Enjoy !
