Apple crumble baked oats with a molten custard centre

This. is. a. thing. of. beauty.
Had an obsession with baked oats last winter, and rightly so. It’s just an excuse to have cake for breakfast.

Recipe

2 tbsp oat flour
1 tbsp ground almonds
1 tbsp vanilla whey protein powder (hermosa is the best i’ve found)
1 heaped tbsp sugar
Sprinkle baking powder
Pinch of salt
Sprinkle of cinnamon
1 tsp smooth peanut butter or other smooth nut butter
Enough milk to form a runny cake batter

THE CUSTARD CENTRE
1 tbsp cream cheese
1 tbsp syrup or flavdrops
1/2 tsp vanilla
Enough milk to make a yogurt consistency

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C

2. Mix all the dry ingredients in a small bowl

3. Add the milk bit by bit until you have a runny cake batter, then add the peanut butter and mix through well

4. Mix the cream cheese, syrup and vanilla in another small bowl and add a dash of milk at a time until you have the texture of a smooth greek yogurt

5. Put the cake batter in a small ramekin or oven proof dish, saving about 2 tbsp worth

6. Add the cream cheese mix to the centre and cover it with the remaining cake batter

7. Sprinkle with oats and a little bit of sugar then bake for 10-12 mins, until it is risen and golden, but you can feel that the centre is molten

8. Drizzle with peanut butter and serve with apple

Notes + Variations:

You can fill this with actual custard too, I just decided to make this slightly more breakfasty.
