Berry Baked Oats Custard

Serves: 5

Ingredients

• 200 gm oats
• 2 tsp honey + extra to drizzle
• 5 eggs, beaten
• 500 gm yoghurt
• 100 gm walnuts, chopped
• 500 gm fresh berries, like strawberries, raspberries or mulberries
• 5 x 15 ml oven-proof bowls or ramekins

Method

• Preheat an oven to 200°C.
• Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl until combined, reserving ¼ of the walnuts for later.
  Spoon the mixture into the 5 x 15 ml oven-proof bowls or ramekins.
  Sprinkle the reserved walnuts on top.
  Place the dishes on a baking tray and bake for 25-30 minutes until cooked through.
  The top will turn golden. 
  Insert a fork, and if it comes out clean, the berry oats are cooked. 
  Take out of the oven, drizzle a little honey and serve warm.

Editor's Note: Skip the honey for a less-sweet custard.
