Cranberry, White Chocolate & Macadamia Nut Baked Oatmeal

 

Looks a bit like meatloaf? Right? Well its not. Its better.

 

Now I adore 'White Chocolate Macadamia' Cookies, especially Subways. Macadamia's are probably my second favourite nut, after pecans. Their meaty like brazils with a luxuriously creamy texture. Cranberry White Chocolate is also a big winner, obviously white chocolate is just da bomb, but I wanted to mash these two brilliant combos into one great mix.

 

The addition of white chocolate and mac's can make so many baked oatmeal's extra awesome so expect them to be a regular component in future posts.

Cran, White Chocolate and Macadamia Nut Baked Oatmeal

 

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup Rolled Oats

Pinch of Salt

1/4 Tsp Baking Powder

1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract

1 Tsp Maple syrup or sweetener of choice

Handful of Dried Cranberries

Handful of White Chocolate Chips, or chopped up bar

Small Handful of Macadamia Nuts, roughly chopped

1/4-1/3 Cup Milk of Choice

 

Optional:

1-2 TBSP Cranberry sauce

 

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 350F/180C/Gas Mark 4. Grease a dish or ramekin.

2. Mix the Oats, salt and baking powder.

3. Add in the vanilla, sweetener, cranberries, chocolate, and macadamia. Stir in the milk bit by bit till the oats are wet but not sloppy.

4. Pour the mix into your dish. You could swirl in a TBSP of cranberry sauce before or after its in the dish, or save the sauce to top after the oatmeal's cooked. Bake for 17-20 minutes or until set. Don't cook to long or the white chocolate will turn to oil (Don't think that one through to much). Enjoy!
