Warm up your autumn mornings with a delightful treat! These 'pepernoten' baked oats are not only warm and filling but also healthy!

Ingredients (for 1 serving):

• 60 grams whole grain oat flakes

• 100-120 ml almond milk (adjust for desired consistency)

• 15 grams protein powder

• 2 grams baking powder

• Tablespoon honey (or more!)

• Vanilla extract

• Teaspoon gingerbread-like spices

• Optionally, vegan 'kruidnoten' (spice nuts) for topping

• Sunflower oil for greasing

Kitchen utensils:

• Blender or food processor

• Wooden spoon for mixing

• Mixing bowl(s)

• Small baking molds

• Oven

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius.

2. Weigh your ingredients.

3. Blend 50 grams of oatmeal into a fine flour-like structure, leaving the remaining 10 grams coarse.

4. In a bowl, mix oat flour, baking powder, gingerbread-like spices, coarse oat flakes, and protein powder.

5. Add honey, almond milk, and vanilla extract; mix into a thick, pourable batter.

6. Grease baking tins with oil.

7. Pour batter into baking tin(s), optionally topping with 'kruidnoten.'

8. Bake for ±20 minutes, checking for color every 5 minutes. As it lacks eggs, it can burn easier. After about 20 minutes, check with a skewer; it's done when the skewer comes out clean.

Hack! Prepare oats in advance; bake for 15 minutes instead of 20. Store in the refrigerator, and reheat for a delicious warm brekkie!
