Method
Why I Like this Recipe
I enjoy this recipe because it makes breakfast feel special without much extra work. The apples and pears turn soft and naturally sweet as they bake, and the oats, yoghurt and protein powder make it filling for busy mornings. It’s easy to portion, stores well in the fridge, and tastes just as good reheated the next day with a spoonful of yoghurt.
