Blueberry & Coconut Baked Oatmeal

Blueberry, Coconut & Hazelnut…can’t get enough of baked oatmeal, even as the morning start to get warmer, this is an easy one to have on hand to reheat & add a scoop of yoghurt for busy mornings!

Why it’s good for you

Blueberries are loaded with antioxidants which help keep us looking & feeling youthful by protecting us from any oxidative stress in our bodies.

Using frozen works well too as the fruit is frozen not long after picking so they’re still high in nutrients-this goes for all frozen fruit & vegetables.

This is really low in sugar (only 18g per serve), especially compared to many cereals being close to the 50g per serve.

Hazelnuts are a great source of fat which keeps us satisfied, is fantastic for our gut & helps reduce any inflammation through the body.

Notes

  1. Serve with yoghurt for protein & calcium

  2. Keep in the fridge & reheat in the oven for ~1 min 30 secs in the mornings

  3. It’s meant to be soft in the middle, not hard like slice & not too soft so you can’t slice & serve it!

  4. Vegan: swap the eggs for flax eggs (ground flaxseeds & water), use milk alternative of your choice

  5. Low FODMAP: swap blueberries for strawberries, and hazelnuts for macadamia nuts. Use lactose free milk. The coconut is classified as a low FODMAP serve.
