Baked Berry Coconut Oatmeal
The temperature is dropping & this is a different take on oats for those who get bored of eating porridge. A fab breakfast to make at the start of the week to have on-the-go. It’s the perfect thing to make for Sunday brunch for a crowd which never disappoints!
Why it’s good for you
I’m a loyal oats gal & I classify them as a real superfood. They are loaded with fibre & something which is called beta-glucan which helps balance blood sugar levels & keep cholesterol in check. They’re low FODMAP so great for those with a sensitive tummy (see notes below for modifications to make this low FODMAP). These are the sort of carbs we should be eating every day.
Using mixed berries means for variety of plants which is better for your gut!
Just a word of warning….the smell that goes through the house is ah-mazing!
Serve topped with yoghurt and more berries…personally I love the combination of the warm baked oatmeal with cold yoghurt & berries!
Notes
You need to make & bake straight away otherwise it will turn out funny.
If you don’t want to add butter/marg you can swap to coconut oil for extra flavour or leave out completely, but it does help it to get nice & crunchy on top!
Vegan: swap the eggs for flax eggs (ground flaxseeds & water), use milk alternative of your choice
Low FODMAP: swap flaked almonds for pecans, walnuts, LSA mix, sunflower or pepitas, mixed berries for just strawberries. Per serve the coconut is low FODMAP, however if this causes you stress, swap for coconut oil & leave out the butter.
It’s meant to be soft in the middle, not hard like slice & not too soft so you can’t slice & serve it!
If using frozen berries, don’t defrost them first, use frozen.
Store in the fridge & enjoy chilled, room temp or reheat in the microwave
