Tips and Tricks for Perfect Baked Almond Croissant Oats:
- Don't Over mix: A slightly lumpy batter is perfectly fine. Over mixing can lead to a tough and chewy texture.
- Ripe Bananas: For a touch of extra sweetness and moisture, you can mash up a ripe banana and add it to the batter.
- Spiced Up: Love a little spice in your breakfast? Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a warm, comforting flavour.
- Pre-portioned Goodness: This recipe is easily doubled or tripled to make a batch for meal prepping. Simply portion them out into individual baking dishes or mason jars and store them in the fridge for a grab-and-go breakfast all week long.
