Almond croissant oats

SUCH a tasty thing to meal prep in the week. I would if I were you. A healthy, and damn tasty start to your morning, if I say so myself.

Recipe

THE OATS
1/2 cup oats
1 cup liquid (I use a mix of sweetened milk and water)
Vanilla
Pinch salt

THE ALMOND TOP
2 tbsp ground almonds
2 tsp butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp golden syrup or honey
Handful roasted flaked almonds

Method

1. Make your oats as you normally would - you can cook them in the microwave, or on the stove.

2. I always cook mine on the stove on medium - medium-low heat for 5-10 minutes, or until they’ve thickened how I like them.

3. Add your oats to your serving bowl and leave to cool slightly.

4. For the almond paste, melt your butter and golden syrup in a small bowl in the microwave - mine took about 30 seconds.

5. Add your vanilla extract, and ground almonds, and mix until you have a paste.

6. Spread your almond paste over your oats, and leave to cool in the fridge - this will take at least 30 mins, or overnight.

7. Top with roasted flaked almonds, and a dusting of icing sugar if you’d like.

Notes + Variations:

Use vegan or normal subs for this - it works exactly the same
