Ingredients:

    • 1 cup oatmeal
    • 150 ml milk
    • 2 bananas, mashed
    • 2 eggs, beaten (be sure to wash your eggs before using them)
    • A pinch of vanillin
    • 50g cranberries
    • 50g dried apricots, chopped
    • 30g almond flakes
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • Vegetable oil (for greasing)

Directions:

  1. Prepare the Oatmeal Mixture:
    • In a bowl, combine the oatmeal and milk. Mix well and let stand for 10 minutes to allow the oats to absorb the milk and soften.
  2. Combine Ingredients:
      • Mash the bananas and add them to the oatmeal mixture.

     

    • Add the beaten eggs, vanillin, cranberries, chopped dried apricots, almond flakes, and baking powder. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
  3. Prepare the Baking Pan:
      • Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F).

     

    • Line a baking pan with baking paper and grease it with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Bake the Mixture:
      • Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.

     

    • Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Serve:
      • Allow the breakfast bake to cool slightly before slicing.

     

    • Serve warm or at room temperature.

Serving Suggestions:

    • Enjoy a slice of the breakfast bake with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of honey.
  • Pair with a fresh fruit salad for a complete breakfast.

Cooking Tips:

    • Make sure to mix the oatmeal and milk well and let it stand to ensure the oats are adequately softened.
    • You can substitute dried apricots and cranberries with other dried fruits like raisins or dates if preferred.
