METHOD:

Line a 23cm/9” square tin and preheat the oven to 180oC/160oC fan/gas 4.

Heat a pan over a medium heat and add the oil, followed by the onions, peppers and garlic.

Sauté for a few minutes until soft then remove from the heat.

Add the chopped sundried tomatoes and spinach and toss until the spinach wilts.

Put the cooled vegetables into a bowl and add the oats, honey, egg, milk and baking powder.

Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the oats to soften.

Crumble in the feta, season well and transfer to the prepared tin and press the mixture evenly in the tin.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until the oats are set and firm and all the liquid absorbed.

Allow cool for 5-10 minutes before serving with a light salad and a drizzle of honey.

Any leftovers can be covered and stored in the fridge for several days. Parchment wrapped portions make a great addition to your lunch box.
