Recipe Notes

Plant Based Milk Options

For this recipe, I used the Koro Organic Oat Drink. It seems to work really well in this recipe, making it creamier than using other types of plant-based alternatives. I think it’s something to do with it being made from oats that give it the velvety texture in the oats. Of course, you can use any milk, plant-based alternative or even raw nut milk for your oats recipe.

Protein Powder

If you want your baked oats to be slightly creamier in texture, simply add one scoop of protein powder, with an extra 50 mls of your choice of milk. This won’t affect the baking time but is the perfect way to add some extra protein to your diet.

Add Some Chia Seeds

For an extra source of healthy fats, add half a teaspoon of chia seeds in to the mixture after it’s finished in the blender and give it a good stir. You won’t taste them in the recipe but they offer so many great health benefits.
