Carrot Cakey Baked Oats – 5sp
Porridge oats are my staple winter breakfast and I often spend time thinking of ways to jazz up my plain old porridge. The little number is the perfect way to do just that. Not only is it warm and comforting, but the ingredients all come together to give you the most delicious carrot cakey breakfast. Very satisfying indeed!
Baked oats take me a lot longer to eat than a normal bowl of porridge and lovely and filling. I served mine here with a tablespoon of low fat natural yoghurt and a final sprinkle of cinnamon but feel free to top them with whatever you fancy.
Ingredients
Serves 1 = 5sp (Flex)
0sp on No Count
35g porridge oats
1 egg, beaten
50ml skimmed milk
2 tbsp sweetener
1 tsp each of cinnamon and mixed spice
1 carrot, peeled and grated
Method
Pop all the ingredients into a large bowl and combine well. Take a small baking dish (I used an individual lasagne dish), spray with 1kal and add the mixture. Pop in the oven on 200c for 25-30 minutes. Serve with a dollop of low fat yoghurt and a final sprinkle of cinnamon.
Enjoy!
This looks and sounds amazing, I definitely have to give it a go. Thank for the recipe x
Hope you enjoy! 🙂
Would these be free on Weightwatchers No Count?
Hi Hilary, yes there are free on Nov count 🙂
Hi Laura
This looks fantastic. Have you ever made it ahead and reheated it? Do you think it would work? Just thinking my daughter would love this but I’d have to get up very early to feed it to her for breakfast!
?
Hi Louise, I haven’t but I think it would still be lovely. I sometimes make them in smaller muffin form and they are lovely cold too!
Thanks for your reply. I made them on Friday for myself and they were delicious! I got disturbed halfway through so reheated them 2 hours later and they were just as delicious ?
Could this be made the night before and reheated?
Hi Kerryn, I’ve never tried it reheated but I can’t see why not!! X
This is delicious! I can’t believe how much you get for 7 sp either. I’m loving your recipes Laura, thanks so much for sharing x
Glad you enjoyed Jo!
Did you think this would be possible to do in the microwave instead of oven?
I’ve never tried Amanda so I’m not sure. At a guess I would think it would cook as normal porridge would in the microwave so many not?

Just made this, cut it into 4 pieces and enjoyed a piece with a cup of coffee. I am going to make it again and also add some grated zest of an orange. I love it, thank you for the great idea x
So pleased you enjoyed it Sara, that sounds like a great addition, might give that a try myself!
I would love to give this a try how many points is it on the blue plan.
Love this recipe l added some nuts and raisins delicious
Hi Laura. I’ve made a lot of your recipes and love all of them. I’ve recently made your baked oats and they’ve become a firm favourite in our house. Many thanks for all your ideas.
This is soooooo nice. I was stuffed by the end of it so I’m hoping it’ll see me through to lunchtime without the tummy rumbles. I’m going to try almond and cherry as well. Thank you so much. So glad I found this website! Loads of fab idea.
Great recipe I added grated Apple and baked in 4 mini loaf trays and 2 were enough to keep me going through til lunch
I made this last night for today’s breakfast. I fudged it up as I wanted to make a whole tray rather than the one serving (I should have tried that first instead of getting creative) I wasn’t a fan it was very heavy and tasteless but you could tell there was egg in the mix ( I added two eggs as I was trying to make 6 servings) , although it was better with yogurt.
I’m 100% sure this is lovely and a must I eat it cold this morning and it tasted OK but I imagine its divine fresh from the oven. My advice would be to not do what I did and shove everything in the bowl and make it up. If you want more than one serving following the recipe for the one and just keep doing that into muffin tins, that is what I’m going to do later this week.
Hi Caroline, yes best to make in separate batches as the flavourings are just enough for one serving. If you double the mixture it will take longer to cook as the mix is heavier, this may have been why it turned out like that x
Made this morning and oh my…this was yummy. I made with Unsweetened Almond milk as well. Real treat for Saturday morning breakfast. ?
2tbsp of sweetener for one portion? Did you use liquid one? I just put 2 tbsp into 6 portions batch and find it far too sweet.
You can adjust to your own taste, my sweetner wasn’t too sweet!
