Unofficial Slimming World baked oats recipes and tips for weight loss

Are you keen to try making healthy baked oats for your breakfast or even a dessert? The way to make it is really simple and can be adapted with a number of different flavours very easily. Lots of people like Slimming World baked oats for breakfast, so I am sure these recipes will help you with adaptions and ideas.

Step 1: The basic baked oats recipe

Preheat the oven to 350°F or 180°C

Mix with 40g of oats, 100g of fat-free natural yoghurt, one egg and 1 tsp of artificial sweetener. A Dairy-free yoghurt can be substituted if needed, and there are alternatives to eggs you could try.

This is the base recipe. Alongside this, you add your choice of fruit and flavouring. Depending on your choice of those, you may choose to omit the sweetener.

If you are short of time, these quick oats can be baked in advance and kept for up to 5 day,s in my experience, depending on the flavours you choose.

Slimming World baked oats should use the healthy extra b allowance to make them. If you follow another plan, then adjust accordingly.

Step 2: Add the flavours

These unofficial Slimming World baked oats are variations on the basic recipe to make it tastier and a flavour you like. Adapting baked oats like this makes it one of my favourite oat recipes.

Apple and cinnamon flavour

Use a quarter of a teaspoon of cinnamon and one apple, finely chopped.

Gingerbread flavour

Use a small pinch of mixed spice, a small pinch of cinnamon and half a teaspoon of ground ginger.

Bounty – coconut and chocolate flavour

I love Bounty bars, do you? Adding coconut choc shot to your base mix gives a tasty bounty flavour. This is a great chocolate baked oats Slimming World friendly recipe for chocolate lovers on a diet.

Raspberry and white chocolate flavour

I absolutely love white chocolate and raspberry cookies, so this flavour emulates that a little. Add 1 tbsp of white chocolate chips and 50g of fresh raspberries.

Mint chocolate flavour

There are two tasty ways you could make this. One is simply using the mint choc shot.

The other is to use 1/4 tsp of peppermint flavouring and chocolate chips. This choice is a bit more calorific and as such more syns or points for your weight loss plan.

Chocolate orange flavour

I love chocolate orange, but it isn’t really that healthy, is it?

Adding to the base mix 2 tsp of the chocolate orange flavour choc shot and some grated fresh orange peel adds a perfect flavour.

If you don’t have an orange handy or don’t want to waste the rest if you are unlikely to use it then substitute it with a quarter of a teaspoon of orange essence.

Banoffee flavour

One of my favourite desserts is banoffee pie but the way I make it (condensed milk, digestives, whipped cream etc) is very calorific! I dread to think of the syns in it, I have never worked them out.

For banoffee baked oats simply add a small banana, either sliced or mashed to the base mixture. If you add sliced you will notice them more in the final dish.

For the toffee element, I would recommend fudge pieces from the baking section of the supermarket. A tablespoon is a plenty.

Cherry Bakewell flavour

This is best made with defrosted dark sweet cherries you find in the freezers at the supermarket. I find using 60g of these works well, but have a play and see what you enjoy. Remember, cooked fruit is counted on Slimming World, so these won’t be syn-free baked oats.

Add a quarter of a teaspoon of almond essence and you have the perfect almond flavour. To make it even more like Cherry Bakewell, why not add a few flaked almonds on the top?

Apple and blackberry flavour

Another delicious choice, perfect in the autumn when both are in season.

Carrot cake flavour

Grate a small carrot to add to the base mix with half a teaspoon of cinnamon, 15g of sultanas and 5 halves of walnut, finely chopped/crushed. This will give you a tasty carrot cake which you can top with Quark with a few drops of orange essence and sweetened to taste to make a delicious dessert.

These dishes are perfect; you can buy similar ones from B&M bargains and many other places. Whatever baking dish you choose is likely to be fine as long as it is oven-proof, and remember if you make a larger one by multiplying the ingredients, it will take longer to cook!

Step 3: Cooking the baked oats

Once you have your oats ready in whatever combination you choose simply use low-calorie cooking spray to lightly coat the baking dish and then fill with the mixture.

Then bake at 180°c or 350°F for 35 minutes or until browned.

Serve with fruit for a healthier breakfast and enjoy your unofficial Slimming World baked oats at whatever time of day you fancy.
