French hot chocolate baked oats

Ingredients

THE BAKED OATS

• 3 tbsp oat flour
• 1 tbsp chocolate (or vanilla) whey protein powder
• 1 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1 tsp sugar/ sweetener
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/6 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• Pinch salt
• Warm water until you have a cake batter consistency
• Whipped cream/ yoghurt to top

THE CHOCOLATE LAYER

• 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips, or 40g chocolate
• Splash milk

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 170°C.
2. Combine with your protein powder and oat flour with a pinch of salt, and your bicarbonate of soda and baking powder.
3. Add your cocoa powder to the top of the mixture, then pour over a splash of warm water and mix it all together.
4. Add drops of water bit by bit until you have a cake batter.
5. Taste and add sweetener if needed (I recommend 1 tsp sugar or syrup).
6. Add to an oven proof ramekin/ bowl/ glass, then bake for 12-15 minutes, until it’s risen and springs back to the touch.
7. Whilst your baked oats bake, to a microwave safe bowl, add your chocolate & a splash of milk.
8. Microwave your chocolate for about 90 seconds, in 30 second intervals, until you have a thick, ganache looking mixture.
9. Once your baked oats are out the oven, leave to rest for a couple of minutes, then pour over your ganache, then top with whipped cream/ a spoonful of yogurt and serve.
