Method

You’ll need: oven · baking dish · mixing bowl · grater

1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (160 °C fan) and have a small ovenproof dish ready.
2. Mix the rolled oats with the baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a bowl.
3. Finely grate the apple and fold it into the dry ingredients with some of the berries.
4. Put the mixture in the dish and pour the milk over it so everything combines well.
5. Scatter the remaining berries on top and bake at 180 °C for 20–25 min, until the liquid has been absorbed and the top looks lightly golden brown.
6. Serve warm and spoon straight from the dish.

Good to know

A breakfast like this feels like a slow morning from the oven. Soft, fruity and pleasantly warm – without much effort.

Swaps

Milk → unsweetened coconut milk from a carton or whole milk (creamier, often more satisfying) Almond milk → unsweetened cashew milk or gluten-free oat milk (milder flavour) Sweet apple → pear or mashed banana (natural sweetness, moist texture) Berries → diced plums or cherries (fruity, a different mix of polyphenols)

Allergens

Contains milk (or tree nuts with almond milk). Oats contain gluten – only use oats labelled gluten-free. Usually well suited to children and during pregnancy, as long as milk and berries agree with you.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of fibre is in the rolled oats?

Rolled oats contain soluble and insoluble fibre. Beta-glucans, which are typical of oats, are particularly well known.

What do berries provide nutritionally?

Berries contain vitamin C, fibre and various polyphenols, including anthocyanins. How much depends on the variety and ripeness.

Does the apple in this recipe suit a sensitive stomach?

Grated, baked apple is often perceived as milder than raw. If you have a sensitive stomach or fructose intolerance, how well you tolerate it can still vary.

What nutrients does milk bring to the baked oats?

Milk mainly provides calcium, iodine, protein and, depending on the product, vitamin B12. Unsweetened almond milk can be made up quite differently and often contains less protein.

What does cinnamon add to this recipe?

Cinnamon contains aromatic plant compounds and small amounts of minerals, but it's usually only used in small amounts. Here it mainly adds warmth and a gentle sweetness to the oats.
