Halloween Baked Oats

495 calories, 21g fat (3 saturates), 49g carbs (18g sugars), 10g fibre, 32g protein

Makes 2 servings 

• 80 g oats 

• 1 tbsp flaxseed

• 2 tbsp hemp seeds

• 1 egg + 1 egg white

• 100 ml semi-skimmed milk

• 2 small apples  (grate 1.5 apples and slice remainder)

• 1 tsp cacao

• 1 tsp pumpkin spice (or 1 tsp mixed spice and cinnamon mixed)

Mix everything well, pour into a lined loaf tin and decorate with sliced apple and bake for about 30 to 40 minutes at 180. Perfect for the airfryer. I normally always reduce the temperature by 5-10 degress in the airfryer and a slightly shorter cooking time. For this I baked at 175C and 35 minutes.

Allow to cool slightly. Cut into 6 slices.

To serve: for each serving (3 slices)

• 120g Greek yogurt 0% fat 

• ½ tbs Pumpkin seeds 

• 3  walnuts per serving

Also works well sliced as a healthy snack. One slice would be about 6g protein, 3g fibre and just over 100 fnutritionally balanced calories.

Pumpkin spice mix (from Little Lou Cooks)

This is perfect for a spiced latte, adding to my porridge bread, or oat cookies or Healthier Banana Bread.

• 4 tbs ground cinnamon

• 1.5 tsp ground nutmeg

• 1 tsp ground ginger

• 1.5 tsp all spice

• ½ tsp ground cloves

Or just mix 3 tbs cinnamon and 3 tbs mixed spice
