CHOCOLATE BROWNIE BAKED OATS
CHOCOLATE BROWNIE BAKED OATS
This is what happens when comfort food and Nutrition Science actually get along. These chocolate brownie baked oats are rich, fudgy and lightly sweet. They are built on slow-release carbs, fibre and protein to keep you full all morning. Oats, flaxseeds and chia seeds feed your gut with fibre whilst cacao brings antioxidants and polyphenols. And the peanut butter swirl? Pure joy (and healthy fats). This will actually make even a busy morning enjoyable.
