A delightful breakfast blend of creamy oats infused with almond flavor, topped with crunchy sliced almonds and croissant-inspired butteriness for a café-style start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups milk (dairy or almond milk)
  • 2 tbsp almond butter
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp sliced almonds, toasted
  • 1 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil (optional, for richness)
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, extra sliced almonds, a drizzle of honey

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine oats, milk, almond butter, maple syrup, almond extract, vanilla, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  2. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats are creamy.
  3. If using, stir in the melted butter or coconut oil for extra richness.
  4. Divide oats into bowls, then top with toasted sliced almonds, fresh berries, and a drizzle of honey if desired.
  5. Serve immediately for a warm, indulgent breakfast reminiscent of an almond croissant.

Notes

  • Use almond milk for a dairy-free version.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup or honey.
  • Prepare overnight oats: mix ingredients (except melted butter), refrigerate; reheat and stir in butter before serving.
  • Try different toppings like chopped apricots, banana slices, or dark chocolate shavings.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
