Here at MOMA we know what a pest allergies can be when trying to keep your diet fresh, exciting and of course safe. For those of us with allergies, intolerances and extra special diets, the search can prove a little deflating. We’re always thinking of new ways for you to enjoy oats, so here's a selection of tasty vegan, gluten free and lactose free recipes.
Oatcakes (gluten free)
• 300g gluten free oats • ¼ tsp gluten free baking powder • ¼ tsp salt • 25g butter or margarine (swap for dairyfree sunflower oil for vegan + gluten free) Preheat your oven to a toasty 190 c / gas mark 5 and go all grease lightening on that baking tray. Coarsely blitz two thirds of your oats, then put them in a large mixing bowl and stir in your chosen spread. Slowly add boiling water to make a firm and smooth paste. Form into your desire oatie shapes and place onto baking tray. Bake in oven for 15 to 20 minutes until firm. Tips: Get a little fruity and add in some dried fruit before your spread. Try cranberries and cinnamon for a pre-festive treat!
Super-oat bowl (gluten and lactose free)
• 40g to 50g of oats • 100ml almond milk • 50ml water • 1 ripe banana • 2 tsp of chia seeds • ¼ tsp cinnamon Pop the oats, almond milk and water in a pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on a steady heat. Serve in your favourite bowl and add the sliced banana, chia seeds and a sprinkle of cinnamon. To really pimp up this porridge why not add a sprinkle of toasted coconut and some mixed berries!
