Hot Cross Bun Baked Oats – whether it’s for breakfast, a snack or even dessert, these low syn Hot Cross Bun Baked Oats are delish and will save you some syns.

It’s that time of year, where hot cross buns are everywhere, tempting us wherever we go. I mean what’s not to love about a thickly buttered hot cross bun?

That being said, one decent sized hot cross bun just on its own will use up about 10 syns of the 15 daily syns you get, so it’s totally reasonable to enjoy one while still on plan, even with a little butter.

But for some that might be a little too high of your daily allowance, and set you up for failure just by having them in the house, because you know just one is never going to be enough. 

What do you do? Make these Hot Cross Bun Baked Oats of course – you can enjoy 3 of these for just 1 HEb and 4.5 syns or 1 on it’s own for 4 syns or 3 Weight Watchers smart points. How amazing is that!!

and while they don’t have that bready texture you expect with a hot cross bun, they do have all those flavours and really satisfy the cravings. 

So if you enjoy baked oats, then this is indeed the recipe for you.

Inspiration from this recipe was from the amazing recipes by Paul Hollywood.  So if only the real deal will do, go check out his recipe.

But if you want a low syn inspired version, you have come to the right place :). It’s a pretty genius idea to get that hot cross bun look and I was really happy with the result. They tasted so good too. Which is, of course, the most important part of all. 

Using gluten-free oats, will mean this recipe is gluten-free, which is great for those with allergies who want those Hot Cross Bun flavours.

How can I add a 1/3 speed food to these Hot Cross Bun Baked Oats?

Serve with some speed fruits of your choosing, I spaced them out in the day as a snack and enjoyed with a cup of tea with some sliced apple and raspberries – really delicious!!

Speed fruit is not compulsory, so if you want to just enjoy the hot cross bun baked oats that is perfect fine. Just add as much speed foods as you can to your meals elsewhere in the day.
