Ingredients
- 75g dried cherries
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 500ml hazelnut milk
- 200g jumbo porridge oats
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp cocoa nibs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 50g blanched hazelnuts
- fat-free yogurt and sugar-free cherry compote, to serve (optional)
Method
Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cover the cherries with boiling water and set aside for 10 mins. Meanwhile, mix the chia seeds with 3 tbsp warm water.
Drain the cherries and put in a large bowl with the soaked chia and the remaining ingredients, except the hazelnuts. Tip into a 2-litre ovenproof dish and scatter over the hazelnuts, then bake for 25-30 mins until piping hot in the middle. Serve with yogurt and cherry compote, if you like.
