Preppable breakfast loaf inspired by the ingredients from a classic bowl of porridge and simple yogurt cake that can be packed and eaten on the go for those busier mornings. It's also just a great mid-day snack when you want something sweet. Perfect to be heated in the microwave with some yogurt and almond butter. Once pre-portioned it can be frozen to last longer. For a lower sugar alternative experiment with the ratio of caster sugar and swap in some granulated sweetener. (the sugar allows the cake to be soft and moist while adding sweetness but you could use 75g caster sugar and 75g granulated sweetener)
