Today I have a delicious baked oats recipe to share with you. This is my current favourite breakfast, forget overnight oats - baked oats are the new porridge! This warming breakfast feels like a real treat, especially when you're going to be heading outdoors on chilly autumn mornings. It's a great way for the whole family to start the day.

I created this recipe using delicious yogurts from the Little Yeos range from Yeo Valley, my absolute favourite brand of yogurt. I remember the first time I tried a Yeo Valley yogurt a couple of years ago, it felt like a revelation as until that point I had almostforgotten what 'real' yogurt tastes like. It's gorgeous and creamy and not over sweet - since that day I have not bought any other brand of yogurt for my children, I think they deserve to grow up knowing what yogurt should taste like!

I tend to buy individualpots of flavoured yogurts as a treat, using the larger pots of natural yogurt for every day use, because I've got a bit of a bee in my bonnet about yogurts for children - I just don't understandwhy it's necessary to add the amount of sugar that so many brands do, especially to foods aimed at children.

This is where Yeo Valley differs from the restthough - theLittle Yeos yogurts have a lower sugar content than any of the other brands that I've found so far (I stood in the supermarket and checked them all again the other day!), so not only do they taste great, but they are healthier too.

Even better than that, Yeo Valley have recently added a new range of fromage frais flavours to their range, which have NO added refined sugar at all, they're simply flavoured with a organic fruit puree. I've been grumbling for years that I've never been able to find children's yogurts without added refined sugar, so I'm over the moon that my favourite yogurt brand has delivered my wish at last!

We've been trying out the new fromage frais pots this week and they've been a hit with both of my boys. I've only managed to find the Strawberry / Raspberry fromage frais flavours so far but will be keeping my eyes peeled for the others - there are also Pear & Apple / Strawberry & Peach, Mango & Vanilla / Strawberry & Vanilla, Raspberry / Apricot and Natural Fromage Frais pots available too.

I'm particularly pleased to see the natural fromage frais pots - they're perfect for weaning little ones, helping to develop healthy habits from day one. We like to add our own toppings to plain natural yoghurt and fromage frais - we love a drizzle of honey, a small dollop of jam or a little granola with ours.

Back to the recipe I promised at the start of this post - now that autumn has well and truly begun, this recipe is the perfect start to the day, with the oats, yogurt and eggs all providing plenty of healthy natural fuel to keep you going for longer than sugary cereal would. It makes a lovely healthy dessert too, or even a hearty afternoon snack at the end of a long walk.

We love heading out for family walks whenever we can find the time, though that's mostly just at the weekends during term time, so I can't wait for half term to arrive so we can fit a few more in. When we arrive home from a brisk walk in the crisp autumn air, I can imagine nothing better than a beautiful bowl ofbaked oats to warm us all up!

This recipe is perfect for cooking with children, it's super easy to prepare - even toddlers could help give it a stir - and with only 4 ingredients, a lovely easy to remember recipe too. I hope that this simple recipe will be one my children will rememberhow to make for the rest of their lives, it's never too early to start nurturing those healthy habits!

Fruity Yogurt Baked Oats

Ingredients:

• 75g oats
• 2 large eggs
• 2 strawberry Little Yeos yogurts (90g)
• 75g fresh blueberries

Method:

Preheat the oven to 200°C (Gas mark 4/400°F).

Measure the oats into a mixing bowl then crackin the eggs and add the yogurts. Stir well until completely mixed together.

Stir in the blueberries so that they are evenly distributed through the mixture.

Divide the mixture between 3 oven proof ramekins, making sure that there is room for the mixture to rise in each one.

Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and cooked through.

Leave to cool a little before serving. You can eat them just as they are, drizzle over some honey or maple syrup for a little extra sweetness or serve with a dollop of extra yogurt and some fresh fruit on top.

NOTES:I found the mini casseroles that I used in my photos in our local pound shop and find them really handy for making individual child-sized portions. My boys love the novelty of having their own portion cooked individually in the cute mini dishes!

You could also bake the oats together in one larger oven-proof dish if preferred, then slice up to serve.

Other berries work beautifully in this recipe too; try strawberries, raspberries, cherries (stone them first!) or blackberries when in season.

PS If you've got any leftover yogurts, try turning them into cute yogurt ghosts to celebrate Halloween with the kids!
