These individual oat-based pots are delicious served warm from the oven with a spoonful of Greek yoghurt – ideal when you feel like something a bit different for breakfast.

Ingredients

Pecans

30 g

Rolled oats, dry

1 cup(s), (120g)

Baking powder

1 tsp

Mixed spice

1 tsp

Sugar-free maple syrup

2 tbs

Egg(s)

1 medium

Mashed banana

½ cup(s), (125g)

Skim milk

100 ml

Orange rind

2 tsp, finely grated

Fresh dates

2 individual, pitted, finely chopped

99% fat-free, plain Greek yoghurt, unsweetened

cup(s), (80g)

Oil spray

2 x 3 second spray(s)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C. Lightly spray 4 x 150ml capacity ramekins or ovenproof dishes with oil. Spread pecans over a baking tray. Bake for 6-8 minutes, until a darker golden colour and fragrant. Cool slightly, reserve 4 toasted pecans and finely chop the remaining.
  2. Reserve 1 tablespoon of oats. Process remaining oats with baking powder, spice, syrup, egg, banana, milk and a pinch of salt in a food processor until smooth.
  3. Remove blade from food processor and stir in carrot, orange rind, dates and chopped pecans.
  4. Divide mixture evenly into prepared ramekins. Sprinkle with reserved oats and press a reserved toasted pecan in the centre of each. Place on a baking tray and bake for 25 minutes or until puffed and golden, and a skewer inserted into centres comes out clean. Stand for 5 minutes. Serve warm, topped with yoghurt.
