No-added-sugar version: 232 kcal and 3.4 g sugars per serving.

Values are for the first option listed in the ingredients; substitutions and variations change them. Carbs exclude fiber; energy uses the EU conversion factors (fiber at 2 kcal/g).

Quantities and times are a starting point: adjust them to your taste. Two things don't change: poultry and ground meat must be cooked all the way through, and allergens — always check the labels.

The moist texture of a brownie, but made with oats for every day.

Rico's note: When you want chocolate for breakfast without overdoing it, cut this into squares and take it to work.
