Baked Oats - Free on Filling and Healthy / 3ProPoints per serving



Ingredients 

40g porridge oats - I used the really finely ground ones 
1 egg beaten 
50ml skimmed milk 
1/2 tsp vanilla essence 

Method

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl 
  2. Pour into cupcake holders 
  3. Bake at 180 for about l5 mins 

This was the easiest recipe in the world.  They are really lovely too.  You could add all sorts of things to these for your breakfast or make them savoury by leaving out the vanilla essence and adding in some salt and cheese.  You could bulk these up with almonds, dried fruit, chocolate chips if your making them for kids.  Just make sure to adjust your points depending on what you add.  

Serve these with some fruit salad and you have a great breakfast on the go!
