Black Forest Baked Oats
Ingredients
- 100g (1 cup) oats
- 4 tbsp low-fat plain, vanilla or cherry yoghurt
- 2 handfuls frozen pitted dark cherries
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder or drinking chocolate
- 8 tbsp boiling water
- 2 tbsp powdered sweetener, sugar or maple syrup
Preparation
Pre-heat your oven to 200C/ 400F/ gas mark 6.
Put boiling water and oats in a bowl and stir with a spoon to combine.
Leave aside for five minutes to thicken.
Add all of the other ingredients into the bowl and stir with a spoon to combine.
Pour the mixture into a shallow oven-proof dish lined with baking paper or parchment.
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes. It should be crisp on the outside and soft, but not gooey, in the middle. Oven times do vary so check on it after 25 minutes.
