That Weird Week
Another year is nearly over and we’re currently in that weird week between Christmas and New Year where you don’t really know what to do with yourself or what day it even is.

They are so filling that you won’t want to eat more than 1 or 2 in one go anyway!

Lemon Drizzle Baked Oats
Lemon Drizzle Baked Oats are another combination that I love! Another day, another baked oats recipe. I have so many different combinations for these now but I only share the best ones. I always make them a couple of times before I post just to ensure they’re good! What are your favourite combinations? If Lemon Drizzle Baked Oats don’t quite take your fancy why not try Melt In The Middle Baked Oats or Caramel Apple Baked Oats
