Apple Chai-Spiced Baked Oats
When autumn arrives I gradually move away from smoothies and go for something a little cosier for my morning meal. This Baked Oats recipe is as cozy as it gets and one of my favourite ways to use seasonal British apples! With lots of sweet, warming spices - ginger, cinnamon, cardamom...etc., chunks of juicy apple, oats and nuts, it's like biting into a soft, spiced cookie.
Serve yourself a big scoop and top with a dollop of my Vanilla Bean Coconut Whipped Cream, Vanilla Bean Cashew Cream or just some non-dairy yogurt.
These Apple Chai-Spiced Baked Oats reheat wonderfully, so if you’re not sharing it will see you through for a few days’ breakfasts.
