No Friday would be complete without a seriously delicious pizza. Check out how easy these gorgeous pizzas are to re-create at home (using our very own Progress Oatlets), and you’ll be making your own Italian fakeaways every Friday night. Ciao! #FlahavansOats
Serves 2 pizza bases|Takes 15 mins
Ingredients: For the Pizza Bases: 85g Progress Oats 1 large egg white ½ tsp salt Optional – 1tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1tbsp grated parmesan or 1tsp nutritional yeast For the tomato topping: 400g tin chopped tomatoes 2 tbsp tomato purée 1 tsp dried mixed herbs 1 tsp honey 1 tsp sea salt flakes Couple of grinds of black pepper
Method: For the Pizza Bases: Pre-heat the oven 200C Combine the oats, egg white, salt and season in a high-speed blender and blitz for 2 minutes until completely blended. Heat a small heavy based frying pan over a medium heat. Add one tsp of vegetable oil. Spread half the oat mixture over the pan and cook for 2 minutes until the mixture firms up. Move the oat base onto a lined baking sheet and spread over the toppings and bake for 5 minutes until the pizza is cooked through

Creamy Maple Syrup Porridge with Fruit Kebabs by Louise Lennox A great way to make porridge fun and get the kids excited at breakfast time! Serves 2|Takes 15 mins INGREDIENTS: 60g Flahavan’s Progress Oatlets 300mls whole milk 50mls water 2 teaspoons maple syrup Selection of fresh fruit METHOD: In a small saucepan put the Flahavan’s Oats, milk, water and 1 teaspoon of maple syrup. Stir continuously on a medium heat for about 8 minutes until the porridge is thick and creamy. Remove from the heat, cover the saucepan with a lid and leave for 5 minutes. Cut fresh fruit into small bite size chunks and thread the fruit onto cocktail sticks or wooden skewers. Divide the creamy porridge between two bowls, drizzle the remaining maple syrup on top and serve with fruit kebabs. TOP TIPS: With a newborn baby mornings are mayhem in my home, so to save time I put the ingredients into the saucepan and leave it in the fridge overnight. The porridge oats will absorb the liquid which makes it faster to cook. Get the children involved in the kitchen by letting them help to make the fruit kebabs. These can also be made in advance. Make the fruit kebabs more fun by using a small cookie cutter to cut out the fruit. You can use soy milk or almond milk instead of whole milk.
