Description
Almond Croissant Oats are a creamy, nutty breakfast that combines almond milk, almond butter, and almond flour with the richness of oats. Topped with fresh fruit and almonds, this dish is a decadent yet healthy start to your day.
Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
2 cups almond milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon almond butter
½ cup almond flour
¼ cup sliced almonds
2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional)
1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)
Pinch of salt
Fresh strawberries or banana slices (for topping)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Cook the Oats: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once it boils, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the oats are creamy and cooked through.
- Add Almond Butter: Stir in the almond butter and almond flour until well combined. Add maple syrup and brown sugar for sweetness, if desired.
- Mix in Almonds: Fold in half of the sliced almonds for added texture and flavor.
- Serve: Spoon the oatmeal into bowls and top with the remaining sliced almonds and fresh fruit of your choice.
- Garnish (Optional): Drizzle with additional maple syrup for extra sweetness and flavor.
Notes
For a non-dairy option, use oat milk, soy milk, or coconut milk instead of almond milk.
For a lower-sugar version, use stevia, monk fruit sweetener, or skip the sweeteners entirely.
Feel free to top the oats with other fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or apples.
For an extra nutritional boost, sprinkle chia seeds or flaxseeds on top.
