Recipe Of The Week – Blackberry & Apple Baked Oats
Our Blackberry & Apple Baked Oats are so easy to throw together. The ingredients can be combined ahead of time (this makes it even tastier) and popped in the oven whilst you’re getting ready in the morning.
It’s a real crowd pleaser, and something that will keep you going for hours.
Cook a large batch and breakdown into portions for the week ahead. Alternatively, make a large tray for the whole family to enjoy on a busy weekday morning.
