Ingredients
- 300 g oats gluten free, if you need this to be gluten free
- 3 teaspoons cinnamon
- 200 ml milk I used almond milk, but oat milk would be fine too (Cow’s milk also works if you don't need this to be dairy free)
- 200 g cranberries fresh or defrosted frozen ones – see note
- 75 g pecan nuts
- 100 g maple syrup (or honey if you don’t need this to be vegan)
- Coconut oil / olive oil / sunflower oil for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200C /180C fan / gas mark 6 / 400F.
- Grease your square cake tin with oil and line with baking paper. Grease the baking paper too.
- Place the oats and cinnamon in a bowl and mix well. Then add the the milk and mix together until combined . The mixture will be quite stiff as the oats quickly absorb the milk.
- Add the cranberries, pecans and maple syrup and mix thoroughly – some of the cranberries will get squished, don’t worry, that’s a good thing. In fact it is to be encouraged as it makes these porridge squares even better!!
- Tip the mixture into the prepared tin and flatten.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden on top and quite firm if you press the middle down.
- Allow it to cool for 5 minutes and then remove from the tin (use the baking paper to help you lift it out) and place on a chopping board. Cut into 16 squares.
- The cranberry porridge squares can be eaten warm or cold. Once cold, store in an airtight tin. They will keep well for a few days (well, in theory!).
Notes
- If you have frozen cranberries, they need to be defrosted first, but you can do this really quickly and easily by placing them in a bowl of warm water for 5-10 minutes and then you are good to go!
- Suitable for freezing.
