Possibly one of my favorite sweet recipes! This flan is so delicious and a great source of energy for your breakfast or snack. It's packed with the best nutrients coming from nuts, blueberries and oats. I prefer the vegetarian option using eggs in terms of taste, but it's also doable without using eggs, replacing them with chia seeds and water or mashed banana.
The picture above shows the uncooked recipe.
Ingredients (serves 8 portions)
170g oats
70g pecan nuts (you can also use almonds, walnuts or hazelnuts)
2 tsp cinnamon powder
1 tsp baking powder
a pinch of salt
350ml unsweetened almond milk
100ml maple syrup
2 eggs (or replace with any of the following alternatives, click here)
2 tbsp coconut oil
a pinch of vanilla powder or essence
250g blueberries (fresh or frozen)
Let's start baking
Pre-heat the oven to 190°C
Mix the liquid ingredients in one bowl and the dry ingredients in a different bowl
Take a rectangular baking tin and cover it with some coconut oil
Sprinkle the tin with about ¾ of the blueberries, then cover with dry ingredients and lastly pour liquid mix on top. Add the rest of the blueberries on top and bake for 40-45 minutes.
Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips
You can use different nuts, as suggested above, and different fruit! Try raspberries and peaches, strawberries or blackberries in summer, apples and figs in autumn.
