Oatmeal is a breakfast staple in my home, but it can get monotonous with just adding fruit to it, so I whipped up a few ingredients with my oatmeal that’s not only nourishing and healthy but it can also be served as dessert.
Yes, you read that right. DESSERT.
Dessert for breakfast is a great concept, don’t you think?
In my version, I used blackberries (because I have a serious blackberry addiction) and canned peaches. However, you can substitute with your favorite fruit and berries.
Ingredients:
2.5 cups rolled oats
2.5 cups vanilla Almond milk (substitute with regular milk if you prefer)
1 tsp. cinnamon (for spicier, measure cinnamon with your heart)
1/4 cup maple syrup (for sweeter, measure syrup with your heart)
1 no sugar added can of peaches, drained
2 TBSP melted butter
pinch of salt
Directions:
- Pre-heat oven at 375F
- Wash and dry the berries.
- Lightly coat a baking dish with non-stick spray and arrange the berries and peach slices.
- In a bowl add; oatmeal, a pinch of salt, cinnamon, and mix well.
- Add the following to the oatmeal: almond milk, maple syrup, and melted butter.
- Mix well to incorporate all the ingredients.
- Pour the oatmeal mixture over the fruit, distributing it evenly.
- Bake for 45 – 50 minutes.
- Can be served warm or at room temperature.
- This dish stores well in a sealed container in the fridge.
- Top it off with yogurt of your choice, nuts, frozen yogurt, or ice cream.
Enjoy this dish for breakfast to kick off your day, or as a dessert to end your day.
