Porridge: Baked Oatmeal

This can be made in one large dish or served in individual ramekins.

Note any mixture of nuts and/or seeds can be used. Similarly, this can be made vegan by using plant milk and substituting the honey for maple syrup.

This is great when you want porridge but don't want to forget about it on the stove. Simply pop it into the oven, time for 30 minutes and bam!

200g oats
