Before lockdown, I wasn’t a huge breakfast eater. I was never really hungry early in the morning, or if I was, I had woken up too late to prep something.

But now, my commute has been cut down from two trains and a tube to a quick 3 steps across the hallway to my desk. I’ve got more time and I’ve really embraced the most important meal of the day, with a little help, and a few recipes from Jenny.

This gooey, dessert-like baked oats recipe is one of my regular breakfasts now, so we just had to share it with you.

Ingredients (Serves 2)

• 2 medjool date
• 100g Tony’s Chocolonely Dark Milk Chocolate Pretzel
• 80g oats
• 2 tbsp flaxseed
• 200g toffee yoghurt
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/3 tsp flaky sea salt

Method (takes 40 mins) 

Step 1: Preheat your oven to gas mark 6/200C/180C fan. Remove the pit from the medjool dates and roughly chop, then roughly chop the chocolate.  Reserve about ¼ of the chocolate for serving.

Step 2: Mix together all the ingredients in a bowl until well combined then transfer them to a small baking dish.

Step 3: Bake in the middle of the oven for 25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.  Allow to cool for a few minutes then top with the reserved chocolate whilst hot so it melts over the top and enjoy.
