Sticky Toffee Baked Oats

Ingredients

The date caramel

1 cup barista oat drink

8 pitted dates

Baked Oats

1 tsp smooth nut butter (almond)

1 tbsp your date caramel

1 tbsp Nush natural almond yog

1 heaped tbsp oat flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp sugar / equivalent sweetener

Pinch of salt

1 chopped date

Splash of vanilla essence

Splash of plant drink

Method

Make your date caramel first – add your barista oat drink to a pan with your pitted dates. Cover with a lid and leave to simmer on medium-low for 5-10 minutes, until the dates have plumped up well and have softened

Add your dates to a blender, then pour over the milk and blend until you have a smooth mixture

Preheat your oven to 180°C, then to a bowl, add your nut butter & 1 tbsp of your date caramel paste

Mix, then stir through 1 tbsp of Nush almond yog. Add the rest of the ingredients, then a splash of plant drink so that everything combines – you want it to look like a cake batter

Add your mixture to a ramekin, or an ovenproof dish, then bake for 20-25 minutes, until risen and cracking on the top

Remove from the oven and set aside to cool for a couple of minutes. Top with 1 tbsp of date paste, then serve with more almond yog
