Start Christmas early with a festive treat! Mince Pie Baked Oats have all the flavour of a mince pie but considerably less guilt. Perfect for a filling breakfast or a decadent dessert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time of year is when we are faced with many temptations of various treats and goodies and while the odd treat off plan is fine, we need to try and avoid going overboard and undoing all the hard work we have put in the rest of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last thing you want, is to regain several pounds you have just worked so hard to lose, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of my weakness this time of year is Mince Pies. I love them. That sugary pastry with that delicious mincemeat filling brings back so many Christmas time childhood memories of the family for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My mum would always bake the mince pies, till the edge of the pastry was crisp and smoother them in single or whipped cream. AMAZING!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Occasionally if she was making something with puff pastry and had some pastry left over, she would fill it with mincemeat and make a mincemeat strudel that was seriously the best thing you have ever tasted. It makes me drool just thinking about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All those are enough reasons for me to not have any mince pies in the house because I would seriously eat them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily they are not readily available in Canada anyway, so that takes away some of the temptation, but it doesn't stop the cravings when it gets into the festive season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have come up with a few ways to make a Slimming friendly version that you can enjoy while still on plan and if you love Mince Pies, then you will love these recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First up is this Delicious M<\/span>ince Pie Bread Pudding<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. It serves 2, and that's two 2 decent sized servings. You can enjoy this just as it is, or serve with a little yoghurt or as a more decadent dessert some light cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then we have these Mince Pies<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, that cleverly use some crustless whole wheat bread for the pastry part. You could actually enjoy 8 of these delicious Mince Pies. These are perfect for taking along to a taster or party too. Plus the whole family will love these, not just those trying to eat healthier and stick to plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I've really been enjoying baked oats lately, I rarely have it for breakfast though, what I tend to do is save my HEb, and then make baked oats and enjoy it as a treat later in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baked oats if made correctly really are like cake and so yummy and filling. I have quite a selection of baked oats to choose from, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
