Blackberry Baked Oats with Ice Cream and Honey

100g porridge oats
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp runny honey or maple syrup
plus extra to serve
1 orange
zested
2 eggs
1 banana
peeled and chopped
flavourless oil
for the tin
100g blackberries
ice cream or yogurt
to serve

Method

step 1
Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Put the oats in a food processor with a small pinch of salt and whizz until they resemble wholemeal flour. Add the baking powder, honey or maple syrup, orange zest, eggs and banana, and blend again until smooth.
step 2
Lightly oil a medium baking dish (about 15cm x 20cm and 5cm deep) and pour in the batter. Dot the blackberries over the top, pushing them into the batter slightly. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the oats are golden brown and risen, and a skewer comes out clean. Top with a drizzle more honey or maple syrup (orange blossom or thyme honey would also work well here) and serve with ice cream or yogurt.
