Something more nutritional focused for this weeks blog. I have decided to talk you through how I make my chocolate baked oats.
Only 525 calories including toppings (I add protein powder to get that extra protein hit)
Baked oats seems to be everyone's breakfast of choice recently so I thought why not share mine. As you can see from the photo above they are low in calorie (depending on toppings) and tasty.
Ingredients:
40g Porridge oats
7g Options hot chocolate (milk/white)
75ml Milk (or substitute)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (can use hazelnut, almond etc)
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 scoop of chosen protein powder (optional)
Toppings
(Bake in oven for 7-10mins on 180 fan oven).
So there you have the main ingredients now lets talk logistics. I basically just put all my dry ingredients in first (oven proof dish) then my wet ingredients and just mix with a spoon. When mixed it will resemble a stodgy consistency.
Remember the protein powder is optional however, if you are going to add some I would suggest using a little bit more milk to soak up all the dry ingredients. Also, I grind my porridge oats up so they are like a flour consistency, but if this isn't possible you can just leave them as they are.
Toppings!! Everyone's favourite part, this is when you can be inventive whether it be chocolate, fruit, yoghurt or peanut butter just add in whatever your favourites are.
I like to put a low calorie chocolate sauce on and a little chocolate (I try and have some self control...sometimes).
Cooking. So I just put mine in the over for 7-10mins on 180 fan oven. I am pretty sure you can also make them in the microwave. If making in the microwave I would suggest cooking for 1min intervals until baked (just to be on the safe side).
Now you know what to do, you are ready to go and experiment enjoy making!
Thanks for reading,
Annie
