Why I Like this Recipe
These baked oats are filling but not too heavy. Ripe banana adds sweetness, and peanut butter gives a rich flavour. Blueberries add freshness, and oats provide lots of fibre. You mix everything in one bowl, so it’s easy to prepare and simple to portion for breakfasts throughout the week.
Tips and Variations
- Use almond milk instead of rice milk for a slightly nuttier flavour.
- Swap the peanut butter for almond or cashew butter.
- Add a scoop of protein powder if you would like to increase the protein content.
- Stir chopped nuts or seeds through the mixture for extra texture.
- Replace the blueberries with raspberries, strawberries or mixed berries.
- Serve warm with Greek yoghurt.
- Add a little maple syrup if your bananas are not very ripe.
Meal Storage
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. The oats stay soft and are great for quick breakfasts.
Freezer tips
Cut the baked oats into portions and freeze each piece separately for up to 2 months. Make sure to wrap each one well to avoid freezer burn.
Let the oats defrost in the fridge overnight. Warm them up in the microwave or oven before serving.
