INGREDIENTS

• 30g roughly chopped pecans
• 90g rolled oats (1 cup)
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 200ml milk of choice
• 1 egg, beaten

Chia Jam

• 250g raspberries
• 2 tbsp chia seeds

INSTRUCTIONS

Make chia jam

1. Add raspberries to a pot. Mash them with a fork or potato masher, and cook over medium-low heat until mixture starts bubbling.
2. Reduce heat to low, and add lemon juice, chia seeds and monk fruit erythritol sweetener. Continue cooking for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning at the bottom of the pot.
3. Remove from heat and transfer mixture to an air tight container and store in the fridge.

Make baked oats

4. Preheat oven to 350°F / 180 °C.
5. In a large mixing bowl, add milk, beaten egg, vanilla extract, monk fruit erythritol sweetener, salt and baking powder. Mix until combined.
6. Stir in rolled oats and chopped pecans.
7. Transfer mixture to a lightly greased baking dish.
8. Bake for 30 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
9. Remove from oven. Let cool slightly and top with peanut butter and chia jam just before serving. Enjoy!

NOTES

• Chia jam can be made ahead of time and stored in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
• You may make the chia jam with whatever berries you like!
• You may substitute monk fruit erythritol sweetener with any other sweetener of choice.
• Add less milk if you want your oats more crunchy and more milk if you want your rolled oats to be softer.
