This wholefood dessert is packed full of goodness. The walnuts provide you with anti-inflammatory Omega 3 fatty acids, and the oats and apples are a wonderful source of fibre. Blueberries are high in antixodants and have been shown to assit with focus and help to reduce anxiety. One serving will provide you with a daily serving of fruit.
In this recipe I have used frozen blueberries that I thawed a little first and drained the excess fluid before adding to the baking dish. The fluid makes for a great blueberry drink! You can also add a teaspoon of chia seeds to the fruit mix for added fibre and omega 3.
