Matcha Adzuki Baked Oatmeal

I finally found matcha powder and decided to make some jap style baked oatmeal. Not a big fan of red beans but adzuki beans taste different. This is by far the most tedious baked oatmeal I've done (because need to soak and cook beans) but it's definitely worth it (:

Ingredients:
Rolled oats, around 40g
Milk (enough to cover the oats, you could add water to fill it up)
Matcha powder(2 TSP)
Adzuki beans (2 TSP dried)

Method:
Day before:
1. Soak Adzuki beans
Prior to mixing:
1. Cook Adzuki beans for around 20mins
2. Preheat oven to 180C
2. Combine rolled oats, milk (or milk+ water), matcha powder and adzuki beans in a bake safe bowl
3. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25minutes
4. Top with more Adzuki beans to serve (:

Raspberry Chocolate Baked Oatmeal

Hello! Been really busy with work and all these few days. As much as I hate rushing around, I enjoy the company, the gathering, and of course the food hunts I've been to (: Really can't be more grateful for the people God has placed in my life, and so abundantly blessed me with. I would have never been able to make it this far without their help. (:

So I have no idea who put the idea that raspberry and chocolate would go well together, but somehow, they really did. The bittersweet chocolate with tart raspberry just makes a really good combination. I've learnt that cinnamon brings out the chocolate flavour even more, so do add cinnamon for a more 'full' chocolatey flavour (:


Ingredients:
Rolled oats, around 40g
Milk (enough to cover the oats, you could add water to fill it up)
Applesauce (1 TBSP)
Cinnamon (a dash)
Cocoa powder (1TBSP)
Raspberry (as many as you want)

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 180C
2. Combine rolled oats, milk (or milk+ water), applesauce, cocoa powder, cinnamon and raspberry in a bake safe bowl
3. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25minutes
4. Top with more raspberry to serve (:
