Baked oats with Maple Syrup, figs and Apple

I wanted to make breakfast this morning without the fuss of many pots and pans. An easy recipe that you assemble and put in the oven. To be enjoyed with yogurt. Great for breakfast or brunch. 

Takes 10mins to assemble and 35- 45mins in the oven.

Serves 6 (N.B you can half the recipe for 3)

500ml milk

2 medium eggs

30g Unsalted butter, melted

75ml maple syrup

4 tablespoons dark brown soft sugar

1 large apple, peeled, cored and cut into 1cm cubes

4 - 5 figs cut into 8

200g rolled oats

1 heaped teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground allspice

Pinch salt

50g flaked almonds / coconut

Yogurt to serve

• preheat the oven to 180oC / 160oC Fan / Gas mark 4. Grease the bottom of a 1 litre dish. 

• gently whisk in a small bowl or jug. Milk, eggs, melted butter, maple syrup and half the sugar. 

• put apple, half figs into baking dish with oats, baking powder, allspice and salt. Mix it up with your hands or spoon then pour over milk mixture and allow to soak in. 

• sprinkle with remaining figs, almonds / coconut or a mixture of both and remaining sugar, then bake for 35 - 40 mins until the milk is absorbed. Serve while still warm with yogurt.
