Baked cacao & clementine oats.
Indulging in a slow, warming breakfast is the only way to start a dark, wintery January morning.
Ingredients
2 clementines, peeled
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp cocoa powder (no nasties)
1 tbsp peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla paste
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp maple syrup
150 ml milk of choice
Method
Preheat the oven to 180 C.
Zest and segment the oranges.
In a mixing bowl, combine the orange zest, oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, nut butter, vanilla, cinnamon, maple syrup and milk.
Mix well with a wooden spoon.
Leave the mixture to thicken for 5 minutes, then mix in half of the orange segments.
Pour the mixture into a small baking dish and place the orange segments on top.
Bake for 20 minutes.
Serve with toppings of choice to give you an added and needed energy boost; try pumpkin seeds, honey, sprinkle of orange zest and a dollop of yogurt.
