Orange, Cranberry and Almond Baked Oatmeal

Another Nigella recreation. Same basic ingredients as my 'Cranberry Bakewell Baked Oatmeal' but instead of a almond base orange takes center stage, with the almonds playing second fiddle as the crunchy topping.

 

Orange, Cranberry and Almond Baked Oatmeal

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup/45g Rolled Oats
1/4 Tsp Baking Powder
1/8 Tsp Baking soda
Pinch of Salt
1/2 Tsp Orange zest
1 Tsp Maple syrup
1 Egg white, optional
1/3 Cup/80ml Milk of choice

Optional: 1 TBSP Flaxseed

3-4 TBSP Cranberry sauce
1 TBSP Flaked Almonds

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 350F/180C/Gas Mark 4. Grease a ramekin or dish.
2. Mix all the dry (And flax) and zest till well combined. Add the maple syrup and egg white and then the milk but by bit till the oats are wet but not sloppy. Spoon half the oats into the dish. Spoon in the sauce, it doesn't matter if it hits the sides. Pour on the rest of the oats, top with the almonds and bake for 17-20 minutes or until set, the jam might be bubbling up and the almonds are toasted, golden and aromatic. Enjoy! I had it with the my maple vanilla yogurt, with a couple teaspoons of almond milk added to a thick cream consistency.
