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?
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
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 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.
