Oats with Banana and Strawberries Baked in a Hazelnut Chai Milk

It made my day. I had eaten baked oatmeal before, but never as good as this one. I mixed oats with roasted strawberries and bananas, it had an influence on a taste. Hazelnut milk and coconut milk helped as well. But I think that a chai tea made the trick. I found an original recipe on Family Fresh Cooking blog and I must tell you that it is a family recipe. But with this quantity I am glad that my family contains only 2 people. Thanks to it I did not have to share it 😀 If I’ll ever make it for more people, I’ll double or triple the ingredients. It was that good.

You will need:

• 2 bananas
• 1 handful strawberries
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cups hazelnut milk
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 4 bags of chai tea
• 3 cups oats
• pinch of salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ¼ cup roasted almonds
• ¼ cup raisins

Slice bananas and strawberries, place it on a baking paper, pour the olive oil over it and bake in 185*C for about 30 minutes.

In a pot bring hazelnut milk, coconut milk and a cinnamon stick to boil. When ready place chai tea bags inside for about 10 minutes. Squeeze bags well, remove it with a cinnamon stick from milk. In a big bowl mix fruits with few tablespoons of hot milk mix, so it will become a paste. Add oats, baking powder, salt, the rest of milk mix and combine. 

Place it in a baking form greased with an oil. Bake in 175*C for about 45 minutes. Serve with roasted almonds, raisins and a bit of the hazelnut milk on a bottom.

Enjoy, Marta
