For those of us who struggle with finding time to eat breakfast in the morning, meal prepping can be a massive help. Having something tasty ready to go can help us save time as well as providing a delicious and healthy start to the day. 

Eating a high-protein breakfast is an excellent way to stay fuller for longer and prevent snacking throughout the day. And one baked oats recipe, which is packed with nutrients and can be made in advance, is said to be 'so delicious'. 

The berry crumble baked oats dish was shared on TikTok by Emma Peterson, also known as @thefitlondoner, who says it's simple to prepare and takes just 35 minutes. 

The simple recipe is said to make 4-5 servings, which makes it ideal for making at the beginning of the week and grabbing a portion each day to eat for breakfast.

Simply store the rest of the portions in the fridge in an airtight container and either microwave your portion when you want it for 1 minute, or have it cold for an oat bar vibe (equally as delicious!). ENJOY ?????? *If you use a different brand or type of protein powder you WILL need to adjust this. Start with 150ml, then add slowly until you achieve the consistency shown in the video. However, please note that the reason I highly recommend the soy isolate from Myprotein is precisely for the reason that it gives the best cakey texture when baked and absorbs lots of liquid. ** add slowly and, as above, you may need to adjust depending on the absorbency of the protein powder you use. #mealprepideas #healthybreakfast #batchcooking #foodtok
