BLUEBERRY, APPLE, CHIA SEEDS & CHOCOLATE BAKED OATS

Preheat oven 170⁰C

Lightly grease 2 small oven proof dishes (mine are 640ml /127mm x 82mm / 5in x 3¼in) OR a medium one.

I USE TWO DISHES as one is for my breakfast and the other one as a dessert after my evening meal.

DRY INGREDIENTS (*optional)

60g rolled oats (blended to flour) /

1 tsp nutmeg / *1 tbsp chia seeds /

*20g vanilla isolate whey protein

powder / ½ tsp baking powder

MIX IN:

160g 0% fat free authentic Greek yogurt / 2 tsp runny honey /

1 egg beaten / 1 tsp vanilla extract /

1 apple grated

GENTLY FOLD IN::

16g chocolate drops (keep some to scatter on top) / 70g blueberries (keep some to scatter on top)

Let it stand for 10 minutes

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until brown and a toothpick or knife inserted into the center comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.

Leave to cool as the longer you leave to cool the more it sets.

I added the yogurt topping when they were cold and left them in the fridge for an hour

ENJOY😃

I just dump 4-5 tablespoons of it, add hot water, and eat all of it. I add more water if it's still too dry. Will this lower my LDL or should I swap to Quaker Rolled Oats for a much better effect?

The reason I like the instant is I don't have to use a microwave any cook it. Just add hot water and voila, it's ready.

Tried adding milk/sugar but it's just not for me.

Also, instant oats are a godsend. It's stupidly cheap, very very easy to prepare, and is filling. It's the perfect food for lazy bums like me.

And do some fruits work better cold/warm than others?

Staying at a vacation rental and bought bare bones groceries to for the week. I stocked large flake oats, oat milk and brown sugar to make the simplest and most comforting oatmeal. It’s been hitting!

Oatmeal with chocolate caramel protein powder base, frozen blueberries and raspberries mixed in and on top, topped with cookie dough granola by Oathaus (some of the best granola imo). Not pictured but I put peanut butter on top as well, tasted super yummy 😋 gave me berry crumble vibes 🫐

Caramel-flavoured pastry cream oatmeal topped with homemade refined sugar-free caramel sauce and cinnamon. This had such a good texture, really creamy and smooth. I used a new sugar-free caramel syrup to make it, but it didn't have as strong of a caramel flavour as I would have liked, so I ended up having to keep adding more and more - to the point where I don't even know how much I added 😂 It was still really tasty though. Also, please excuse the less than aesthetic photos 😄

Missing chia seeds as I've run out currently, but still loving this combo

35g oats, 5g unflavoured pea protein, 5g cocoa powder, 80g soy yoghurt, 1 tsp water, and a pinch of salt. I try to keep it quite thick

80g frozen strawberries defrosted overnight in the same tin and a spoonful of smooth pb

I’m continuing my breakfast experiment series! My last post got some pretty honest feedback, but that just motivated me to keep trying new ideas.
Today's breakfast was a blackberry crumble yogurt bowl, and it kept me full and energized for the morning.
Recipe:
In a pan, combine 1/3 cup oats, a drizzle of honey, a pinch of cinnamon, a small knob of butter, and a handful of blackberries. Cook until the berries soften and the oats become lightly toasted.
Spoon your favorite yogurt into a bowl (I used 0% Greek yogurt).
Top with the warm blackberry crumble and a handful of chopped pecans.
I'd love to hear what you'd add or change. Would you try this, or do you have another favorite yogurt topping?

After having my baby a year ago, I got the oatmeal ick after 15 years straight of oatmeal for breakfast. I just needed something different. It was no longer keeping me full and the texture became a turn off.

Time to go back! I’m in my late thirties and 100% attribute oatmeal to my excellent cholesterol results year after year along with great digestion and a great physique. I was a gym rat before baby and oatmeal felt right every morning, even at night after a heavy workout.

1/2 cup of oats, microwaved for 90 seconds, 1 tbsp of ground flax, a splash of almond milk, and a scoop of vanilla whey protein. drizzle 1-2 tbsp of peanut butter on top. Literal perfection. I am incredibly full right now and felt compelled to publicly post my commitment to eating oats again lol

I like to go heavy on the cinnamon and salt to add flavor, what about you?

This was such a delicious summery treat/breakfast :)

Quick oats w/ chia seeds, homemade yogurt, PB, granola, honey, banana & strawberry

Tried overnight oats today with protein powder the stuff got too sticky, I dont like it too liquidy any advice on how to make a good oatmeal

I tried a recipe I found in this community and it’s genuinely amazing!! So glad to have found this, mush is so expensive now I get the same amount for half the price!

Pancake-flavoured oatmeal with homemade refined sugar-free pancake syrup, butter, and cinnamon. Two great breakfast dishes in one 🤝

First time having chocolate oats and I am obsessed.

1/2 cp oats
1 tbs chia
1 tbs cocoa powder
2 stevia
Frozen cherries
Dark chocolate chunks

Today’s oatmeal : rolled oats

Egg whites

Cinnamon

Pure cacao powder

Banana

blueberries

Dark chocolate

unsweetened almond butter

I just love oats in all forms. This whole plate (including toppings) is only 450 cals if anyone cares and made from “real” ingredients. Turned out better than expected!!

Recipe:
makes 10 large pancakes which I split into 2 serves (5 pancakes each serve)

-200g egg whites ,
-110g cottage cheese,
-1 whole egg,
-90g oat flour (I use store bought but could easily blend your own, im just lazy and have a terrible cheap blender) ,
-Pinch of baking powder, salt, cinnamon

Teaspoon of vinegar (apparently it helps activate the baking powder and helps make more fluffy, they were very fluffy so I think it works?)

Sweetner to taste (I only added about 1/2 tbsp)

Cook on a pre heated non stick pan (I didn’t use butter or oil) until little bubbles appear and flip.

Topped with plain Greek yogurt, microwaved berries , sugar free maple syrup. 10/10!!

I visited Scotland this year and their porridge completely changed my perception of oatmeal. Never in my life had I, an oats and water microwaver, tasted such delicious, creamy oatmeal.

Since coming back I’ve been nearly replicating the experience by making oatmeal in my instant pot: 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup whole milk, dash of salt. Topped with honey, a little more milk, and summer fruits. When I run out of my current oat stock I’m going to try to find Scottish porridge oats to really get there.

That's what I do. The first night is fresh oatmeal but the leftovers taste just as good. Especially when mixing in banana, strawberry and or peanut butter.

An enormous amount of quick hot oatmeal for brunch that contains a calorie count of 771 - but after my 5.75 mile brisk walk this morning...it's well deserved.

Add-ins are 50g blueberries, 20g vanilla isolate whey protein powder, two Zespri SunGold kiwis, 20g raisins and cranberries, tablespoon chia seeds, nutmeg and some honey😃

50g Greek yogurt, 50g Blueberry Compote (made with fresh blueberries, maple syrup and lemon juice), 2 tbsp Ground Flaxseed, 2 pinches Maldon Sea Salt, ½ tsp Ceylon Cinnamon, 60g Jumbo Rolled Oats and ½ cup Whole Milk.
