baked oats make great breakfasts and this recipe tastes just like apple crumble for a perfect comfort food! it can also be made as a healthier dessert option for when you need a little warmth in your tummy. this recipe serves one person.

ingredients:
1/3 cup of rolled oats or porridge oats
1/2 cup of milk (I use soy milk to make the recipe vegan and to add a little sweetness but any milk will do)
teaspoon of vanilla essence
pinch of cinnamon
half a small apple

method:
mix together the oats, milk, cinnamon and vanilla in a small bowl. it should end up looking like this:

cover the bowl of oats with tinfoil and leave in the fridge overnight.

in the morning, slice and core your apple. I use a vegetable slicer to get even slices and the lid off my piping bottle to cut the centres out easily. you can also do this the night before and leave them in a ziplock bag to save time in the morning.

layer the oats and apple slices into a single-serve ramekin. I tend to use two slices of apple per layer because the vegetable slicer makes them very thin, but it entirely depends on your taste!



bake at 180 for 20 minutes or until the top has crusted. I take mine out at 10 minutes and sprinkle some dark brown sugar on top because I'm a sweet fiend and then put it back in for the remaining 10 minutes.

and there you have it! perfect comfort breakfast for those days when coffee just won't cut it.
