Banging Baked Oats

This is a super tasty breakfast option that brings a little variety to the standard porridge. We’ve got all your macronutrient needs covered with adequate amounts protein, carbohydrates and fats. 

Adding an additional source of carbohydrates makes it a great pre workout meal also if you have a more strenuous training session planned. I’ll include calorie calculations with and without the banana. 

If you’re not having to be too regimented with your calories, I’d also recommend getting a little creative and try including different berries, seeds and nuts for example. 

Ingredients:

• 45g plain unprocessed oats
• 90ml of semi skimmed milk
• 25g scoop of whey protein (or protein source of choice, note possible variations in calories)
• 1 tbsp of unsweetened peanut butter
• 1 medium banana (optional)
• Pinch of sea salt

Method:

• Preheat oven to 170 degrees
• If using banana, mash it using fork or processor and combine it with oats in an oven proof bowl
• Add milk, protein & salt. Stir ingredients till there’s an even consistency
• Make small well in the middle of the mixture and add peanut but before covering back over with the oats mixture
• Allow to heat for 15 minutes, allow to stand, cool down and enjoy!
