Forget old overnight oats or gloopy porridge, baked oats are the way to get your fibre-fill in the mornings at the moment. This blueberry pie version includes blueberry-flavoured protein and actual blueberries for a double berry whammy.
Oats have been a staple of a healthy, balanced diet for yonks. Runners, in particular, rely on overnight oats and porridge to fuel them through their training sessions because oats provide excellent slow-release energy. But if you want something tastier, then it’s time to chuck those oats in the oven.
This overnight oats recipe tastes like blueberry pie. We’ve recommended using FOGA’s Blueberry Pie Oatshake mix but you could just as easily use Motion’s Fresh Blueberry protein or another protein that you already have lying around. Whatever brand you use, you’ll be adding yet more nutrients to this antioxidant-rich, fiber-full, vitamin E-packed, gut-loving dish. And if you don’t have time to make it in the morning, have it for pudding instead of crumble. Delicious!
