Baked oatmeal - comfort food for those with a sweet tooth
Last week we discovered the term comfort food - inspired by it, we continue to be inspired - this time in the sweet direction. What's more, this dish is rich in fiber, minerals and vitamins and is really good for us in every respect.
This dish was a big hit at my last family brunch. Now that I've published the recipe in the family WhatsApp group in response to several requests, I'm doing the same for you - I'm sure you'll love it.
It is particularly suitable for larger groups as it is very substantial. For 2-4 people, I would halve the recipe - depending on what else is available for breakfast.
Why oatmeal for breakfast?
For many people, breakfast oatmeal is the ultimate way to start the day in a healthy way - but why?
Firstly, oatmeal is rich in fiber, which keeps us full for a long time and regulates our metabolism.
Oats are also a valuable source of antioxidants. It has a positive effect on cholesterol levels and the immune system. They consist of 70 percent long-chain carbohydrates, which provide the body with the right energy for the day.
They balance blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
AND taste simply delicious when prepared correctly.

180 g oat flakes
100 g peeled, halved almonds
