Ingredients
1 cup Pams rolled oats
1 tsp Pams baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
2 eggs
2 bananas
2 Tbsp Pams maple syrup or clover honey
½ large carrot, peeled and grated
Method
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees celsius fan bake. Place all ingredients, aside from the grated carrot, into a food processor or blender.
Blend until smooth, then add the carrot and pulse lightly to combine.
Divide the oats mixture amongst two greased ramekins. Place onto a baking tray, and bake for 15-18 minutes or until the oats are lightly golden and clean when tested with a skewer. Leave to cool for 5 minutes before serving, then enjoy.
How should I serve these? Serve warm and finish these baked oats topped with a dollop of yoghurt, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup and sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired. You can also enjoy these cold or at room temperature.
How can I store these? They can be stored in their cocottes—wrapped or in a sealed container in the fridge, or remove from the cocottes and wrap them for the freezer.
Why are rolled oats used? They give texture and flavour—and oats are a nutritious breakfast food.
Why are bananas used? These give sweetness, flavour and help bind the mixture together.
Why is baking powder added? This creates lift and helps the baked oats rise.
