Top tips for the best baked oats

• Blitz your oats in a blender so they become a flour first.

• Make sure you stir all of the mixture from the bottom of the mug so that everything is combined.

• If you're using a microwave, run your finger around the top of the mug to wipe it clean so it cooks evenly.

• If you're using the oven, line your dish with baking parchment so it does not stick.

• The recipe also works with low fat and vegan yoghurt such as soya and coconut.

• Similarly, it works with gluten free oats.

• It is best eaten straight away while it is still warm.
