Gluten-free Breakfast Vegetarian

Baked oats with chocolate and cherries

August 13, 2021

How do you usually start your day, sweet or savoury? Recently, I have been craving sweet breakfasts. And I have to admit that one of my favourite recipes is baked porridge. It’s so versatile, with lots of toppings to choose from. You just can’t get bored here! There is a combination of flavours that you have to try out. Baked oats with chocolate and cherries. I love sour cherries with a bit of chocolate sweetness. This version doesn’t taste like regular oats, it’s much better. A nutritious, gluten-free breakfast that's delicious.

I don’t know about you, but I try to plan meals in advance, breakfasts too. I like to prepare a plan for the next few days, there is only one problem... In the morning the reality is a bit different though. I don't know why sometimes I just don't feel like making breakfast. Why am I mentioning this? Because that's why I appreciate breakfasts that can be prepared in advance. It makes my life so much easier, and less stressful! 

Baked oats with cherries tastes great both hot straight from the oven and cold. Therefore, you can prepare it the night before. You know, every extra minute in the morning counts! 🙂 

Beaked oats with chocolate - tips 

  • Which chocolate to choose? It depends, if you like dark chocolate, that's great! It’s a healthier option because it contains less sugar. However, if you don’t like its bitter taste, choose milk chocolate instead. In this case, you can reduce the amount of chocolate to 20 g. Oatmeal will turn out just as good. 
  • I recommend using a mixture of rolled oats and instant oats. In my opinion that helps to get a better texture. 
  • Do you only have frozen cherries? Good news. They'll be perfect, just don't forget to remove the stones!
