I have been making these on REPEAT! Not only are they high in fibre but also have amazing quantitites of galactagogues to assist with my breastfeeding journey. I am a mom of an 11 week old today – she is growing so beautifully and I LOVE being a mom. I still love being in the kitchen so these allow me to still make something tasty BUT are super quick AND are adaptable to have different flavours mixed in so they’re really versatile and store so wonderfully in the fridge and keeps so well so it’s just a heat and eat on the other days which suits me perfectly when I have a tiny human to spend time with. They will therefore ALSO be perfect for quick grab and reheat at work kind of breakfasts and for people who dont like boring cooked oats – BUT if you’re a patient of mine then I dont think you’ve been listening when I speak of soaked overnight oats and muesli pie or homemade granola? You do NOT need to just eat boring plain cooked oats – by all means – go ahead if you love that but it’s not for me – I need cinnamon and fruits to make my oats delicious! So, I hope you love these as much as you do – let me know which combo you enjoy most and feel free to explore other options, and if they’re delicious – please tell me, I would love to give more options a try!
- Base Ingredients:
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 eggs OR flax eggs (2 TBSP flax seed powder and 5 TBSP water)
- 1¾ cup milk or milk alternative
- ¼ tsp salt
- Toppings: Pumpkin and chia or sunflower seeds (as much as you like)
- Added Ingredients: See notes for combinations
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. I find if you're using a banana(s) then mash them first in the bowl then eggs (if you're using) or your flax egg THEN the other ingredients. Mix well.
- Pour into a baking dish that has been sprayed with a non stick spray (or lightly oil it using paper towel).
- Sprinkle over seeds.
- Bake at 180 degrees C for 20-30 minutes - basically until it is set.
- Enjoy warm with some milk or milk alternative OR let it cool and store in the fridge until you need then just reheat in the microwave (90 seconds) with some extra milk.
