HOW TO MAKE A BLENDED OATS
Option one is to simply add all the ingredients into a highspeed blender and blend until a cake-like texture or until a texture to your liking.
Transfer into a ramekin and bake in the oven for a few minutes.
Easy!
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A BLENDER, NOT TO WORRY
You can simply mix the ingredients together without blending, the texture will however be different.
Alternatively you can use oat flour and mix all together using a mixing bowl and a spoon before transferring it into the ramekin.
