Oats are grounding complex carbohydrates, they contain beta-glucan which is a type of soluble fibre and is important for the gastrointestinal health.
Oats are nourishing to the nervous system containing nutrients like B vitamins and magnesium.
Oats are a great base to add to breakfast because they are filling and provide a slow release of energy due to those complex carbohydrates!
Combining them with the almond topping, protein powder, and banana's really creates an energy dense balanced meal that you can rely on for those busy days ahead.
I found this recipe online and have slightly modified it!
For The Base Recipe:
3-4 Banana's
150g oats (organic, whole)
150g Oat flour (I just blended some oats)
90g protein powder, my favourites are the healthy chef pea protein in vanilla or the raw paleo protein in vanilla aswell!
You could also add a heaped tablespoon of collagen here if you have it.
1tsp baking powder
1tsp bi-carb soda
750ml coconut milk, or any milk of choice my fave is the co co quench brand.
For The Base instructions:
In a baking dish of your choice, mash bananas, add all ingredients and mix together until evenly combined.
Pour in Milk and mix well until all of the dry ingredients are mixed in.
For the Almond topping:
140g Almond Spread
3 tablespoons of raw honey
50g of almond meal
1tsp almond extract
Sliced Almonds
Icing Sugar
Almond Topping Instructions:
Combine almond spread, raw honey and almond meal in a bowl and mix well.
Spread over the base and mix it in gently.
Cover with sliced almonds before baking in the oven at 180 degrees celsius for 45-50 minutes.
Top with icing sugar, I sprinkle it over through a sieve and then leave to stand for 5-10 minutes before slicing into 6-8 equal chunks, its great to share if you're cooking for others or to enjoy and know that you have heaps more ready to be warmed up!
Store in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freezer for longer.
Oh you can also top with greek yogurt and your favourite fruits, berries etc for the extra goodness, but it's also incredible on its own.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I do !🫶🏻
