Fruity porridge pie - My new favourite breakfast

I hated having breakfast for a long time, I rather just skipped it and went straight into lunch. By the time obviously I was starving, so I ate too much. Since I started working, I forced myself to eat something in the morning. On workdays I always eat a banana, that is the only thing I can swallow and I have the time for. On my days off, in the other hand, I love breakfast. I like thinking about what am I having, and always take my time to eat it. 

This recipe is definitely a day off breakfast, although if you are not a big morning rusher as I am (I like to sleep as much as I can before work, as I am working 12 hour shifts), you can definitely fit this in before work, because the preparing is only 2 minutes, and while it is in the oven, you can get yourself ready, then eat before you leave the house. Doable. :)

Anyway, I found this recipe on my friend, Andi's blog, it is in Hungarian, but even if you don't understand any of it, go and check it out, her pictures are to die for (she photographed our wedding, by the way! :D). 

Ingredients

50 grams of porridge oats

1 egg

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon of baking powder

1/2 tablespoon of honey/maple syrup/coconut sugar, whatever you prefer

1 banana

a handful of berries

cinnamon to taste

Method

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees (fan oven, 200 on a regular). Cut the banana into circles and lay them in an oven safe dish. Put some berries on top, then sprinkle it with cinnamon, cover it with tinfoil, then put it in the oven. 

Mix the oats with the egg, the baking powder, honey, and vanilla. If it is not liquidy enough (depends on the size of your egg and the type of sweetener you are using), add some milk. It is brilliant with coconut milk, but anything will do, even water. Take your dish out of the oven, remove the tinfoil. Pour your batter on top of your fruits, then add the remaining berries on top. Put it back for 15 minutes. This way it will still be a bit moist, but if you like your cakes drier, leave it in for 20. 

Today I used less oats, and it turned out a wee bit more spongecakey, but not any less delicious. Go and experience with it, next time I will add desiccated coconut as well, and it works with any kind of fruits. The bananas are great tho, because they become mushy at the bottom, and it is just heaven with the cinnamon. It doesn't taste healthy, it is like a proper sweet thing, but it is healthy. I love it.
