"I love ginger, it's one of my favourite flavours and here it complements the apricots perfectly in this easy breakfast oat bake. You can use canned of fresh apricots to make it an all year round winner, or why not substitute pears or apple to change things up a little. This oat bake is perfect serve hot or cold and will keep well in the fridge for a couple of days. Or you could add a little extra sweetener and serve with yoghurt or ice cream for a delicious dessert!
