Baked Plum & Pecan Bircher


Serves

Prep Time 

Less than 5 minutes. 

Cooking Time

20 minutes 

Prep Tip

Bake plum the night before for best flavour

Toasting the nuts can make ALL the difference - option to toast them in advance and store in jar…. They make great toppings for salads too!


Ideally soak oats night before although can be done half hour before if need be, they will just be more liquidy

Soak oats in a screw top jar so you can shake it all up. Plus easily transported to work in a jar. 

Why not double up and prep a couple of jars? They can keep in fridge for 5 days. 

Don’t like plums? Bake some pears?

Don’t like pecans? Try some hazelnuts or pistachios!

Nutritional Nugget 

Why not add 1 tbsp of chia seeds in with the oats for an extra boost of protein and omega 3?

Equipment 

Measuring cup or scales, baking tray, NutriBullet, screw top jar

Ingredients

  • 2 plums 

  • Drizzle of agave

  • 150ml milk (I like unsweetened almond)

  • 35g oats

  • 1 tbsp coconut or dairy yoghurt - optional

  • ½ tbsp chia seeds - optional

  • 1 tbsp pecans, toasted and crushed


Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4. 

  2. Place plums on a baking tray with a drizzle of agave and bake for 15 - 20 minutes. 

  3. Once cooled, remove stones and blend one plum with the milk

  4. Pour into a screw top jar, adding the oats, yoghurt and shake.

  5. Taste for sweetness as you may need to add a smidgen of agave

  6. Store in the fridge overnight. 

  7. Option to prep your nuts or wait until morning but grilling them for a couple of minutes is a gamechanger!

  8. In the morning, take out of the fridge, halve the other baked plum and add to the Bircher along with the nuts. Enjoy!
