Carrot & Cinnamon Baked Oats

I’ve had quite a few people ask me for the recipe for the carrot and cinnamon baked oats I posted on my Instagram and Facebook page. The basic recipe is exactly the same as I’ve posted previously here but this one should be clearer to follow if you intend on doing this flavour baked oats. Enjoy, and remember to tag me on your posts when you make them!

Syns: 0.5 syn plus healthy extras A & B choices

Ingredients

  • 40g porridge oats
  • 50ml milk (any of your choice, I use skimmed milk normally)

Weigh out the porridge in a bowl and add all the ingredients to it apart from the carrot. Squeeze out any water from the grated carrot before adding it to the oats mix.

Spray a small baking dish with spray oil before adding the mixture to it.

Bake in a pre heated oven gas mark 6 for around 20-25 minutes.

Once baked, you can add any toppings of your choice. Just remember to syn accordingly!

Baked Oats

Whoever came up with this is a star! I love baked oats, and the possibilities are endless as to the flavours you can have.

Serves: 1

Syns: 1 syn plus Healthy Extra A and B choices, count syns for any fillings accordingly

Time Taken: 15-20 minutes

Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

  • 40g porridge oats
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons sweetener
  • 50ml skimmed milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method

Mix together all the ingredients and place them in silicone muffin cases to be baked for around 15 minutes at gas mark 6.

To make the bakes oats a bit more exciting, you can add fruit, nuts, chocolate chips etc before baking but just remember to syn accordingly. The ones pictured have chocolate chips and were baked in mini silicone cake cases.  I also love making the basic recipe and cook them in waffle shaped silicone mold. I then top them with fresh fruit and a little drizzle of Sweet Freedom Chocolate Shot sauce (1 tsp is only 0.5 syn).
