Oats are one of my favourite breakfasts. They’re warming, filling, quick to make, nutritious and you can easily create different tastes by adding different toppings.
It is so important to start your day off right with a good breakfast. It literally breaks the fast your body was in as you slept, kickstarts your digestive system, keeps you full ’til lunchtime and prevents you from reaching for the bad stuff.
Another way to enjoy oats in the morning is baked oatmeal. I love this way of eating them as I can bake a big batch that I can easily grab-and-go on the way to work (I always eat breakfast at work) and it feels like I’m eating cake for breakfast. How indulgent.
There are many recipes for baked oatmeal. This one calls for blueberries and coconut, however it also tastes great with sliced ripe bananas. You can make baked oatmeal with any combination of fruit and even nuts and chocolate chips. Who said breakfast had to be boring?! Throw out your cardboard cereals and give baked oatmeal a go.
