Apples and spice and everything nice! I love baked oatmeal. It’s almost like having dessert for breakfast – without the guilt. Whenever I make it, I can trick my toddler, Madison, into eating it cold because she thinks it’s cake. I personally prefer eating it warm, right out of the oven, and I make this anytime I need something delish for brunch.

2 tablespoons honey

2 cups (200g) peeled and chopped Gala apples

¾ cup (90g) sultanas

1 tablespoon cornflour

¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

For the apple filling: In a large heavy pot, combine ⅓ cup (75ml)water, the honey, apples, sultanas, cornflour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Bring to a simmer over low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft, about 25 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 190°C/170°C fan/Gas 5. Lightly spray a 20 x 20cm or 23 x 23cm ceramic baking dish with oil. Put the apples into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

For the oatmeal: In a bowl, combine the oats, half of the walnuts, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Pour over the apples.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, honey and vanilla. Pour the milk mixture over the oats, making sure to distribute the mixture as evenly as possible.

Sprinkle the remaining walnuts over the top. Bake until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set, about 30 minutes. Cut into 6 rectangles and serve warm from the oven.

FOOD FACTS fill up on fibre!

Studies show that people lose more weight when they fill up on high-fibre foods, such as fruit, oats and other whole grains. Your goal: at least 25 grams of fibre a day for women, 38 grams for men.
