Plant-based Blackberry Breakfast Oat Bake
There’s something wonderful about stepping outside to pick ingredients for breakfast.
These days I like to wake up early and take some time to meditate and write before making breakfast for myself and my boys.
Smelling the fresh morning air, breathing deeply, while walking along our track and picking a big bowl of blackberries, becomes an act of self-care in itself.
This recipe is easy to put together and full of flavour and vitamins.
While it’s baking in the oven I love setting the table and lighting a candle which makes breakfast so much more special.
I don’t do this every morning but lately I’ve been inspired to put a bit more intention into our mornings. It feels so much better than tumbling out of bed, looking at the dirty dishes from last night and dragging myself to the coffee maker.
Which also happens sometimes and that’s fine.
But Blackberry-Oat-Bake-Mornings with candles feel better.

Oh, I love this recipe! It’s such a perfect combination of ingredients! I think I would really like this with blackberries. They go so well with sweet baked combinations that you eat hot. I can totally imagine that this would be great with ice cream for an indulgence. Do you think? I’m saving this lovely recipe!
Thank you! Yes, ice cream would be delicious with this. Maybe even for breakfast. 😀
