Blueberry Baked Oats
There's something about baking breakfast that makes it feel special, like indulging in a sneaky cake for breakfast or something! These scrummy baked oats are a far cry from a sinful cake-breakfast – made with oats, nuts and seeds, and blueberries on a creamy coconut milk base, each spoonful is packed with flavour and nutrition. Oats are rich in fibre, and are a decent source of protein and essential minerals, like phosphorus, manganese, selenium, magnesium, zinc, and antioxidants.
