Baked Oatmeal 4 Delicious Ways | Healthy Breakfast Idea | Summer Sunshine Series

I love oats in general but something really special happens when you bake them - especially when you add a few delicious ingredients to make breakfast something you look forward to in the morning! All of these recipes taste super indulgent but are free of refined sugar and entirely guilt free!

In this video I share 4 recipes - Caramel Apple baked oats; Chocolate macademia baked oats; Berry seedy baked oats and Coconut cashew baked oatmeal. These take on an almost cake-like texture and are my current obsession!

For the base of the oats (makes around 4 portions):
1 mug of rolled oats (not the instant kind)
1 mug of boiled water
Let the oats soak for 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

For the CARAMEL APPLE flavour:
1 tsp vanilla essence
1-2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp maple syrup (or other natural sweetener)
1 tbsp unsweetened apple sauce
1 apple diced
Around 5 chopped dates
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup almond milk
1 tbsp almond butter

Stir together well and decorate with sliced apple, almonds & more cinnamon. Bake at 180 degrees C (350 F) for around 20-30 minutes. Remove from the oven when golden on top and bubbling. Top with more nut butter and some fresh fruit - yum!

For the CHOCOLATE MACADEMIA flavour:
1 tsp vanilla essence
1-2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp maple syrup (or other natural sweetener)
1 mashed banana
1/4 cup chocolate almond milk
1-2 tsp cocoa powder
1 tbsp cashew butter
1/2 cup chopped macademia nuts

Decorate with sultanas & cacao nibs for an antioxidant filled crunch. Bake at 180 degrees C (350 F) for around 20-30 minutes. Remove from the oven when golden on top and bubbling. Top with more nut butter and some fresh fruit - yum!

For the BERRY SEEDY flavour:
1 tsp vanilla essence
1-2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp maple syrup (or other natural sweetener)
1 mashed banana
1 cup fresh berries
1/4 cup seeds
1/4 cup almond milk
1 tbsp almond butter

Stir well and top with sliced almonds & goji berries for some crunch. Bake at 180 degrees C (350 F) for around 20-30 minutes. Remove from the oven when golden on top and bubbling. Top with more nut butter and some fresh fruit - yum!

For the COCONUT CASHEW flavour:
1 tsp vanilla essence
1-2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp maple syrup (or other natural sweetener)
