Warm Almond Butter & Dried Berry Oat Bowl
brunch / bowls / vegan / dairy free / meat free
I think my favorite cereal growing up was special k red berries. I still will randomly crave it as a dessert late night. when I saw these dried berries at trader joe’s I thought I NEEDED to try these. not gonna lie, I was hesitant to put them into a warm bowl. I’d only ever had dried fruit in cold cereal, but holy sh*t they were so good!
the berries you add into the oatmeal as you cook them got soft and so sweet, but then the ones you sprinkle on top give it such a good crunch, I didn’t even feel the need to add nuts to my oat bowl, which I usually always will to add that crunch factor. try this bowl on a colder summer morning, trust me.
this recipe can be vegan and dairy free is using plant-based milk.
Warm Almond Butter & Dried Berry Oat Bowl
ingredients:
1 large tbsp creamy almond butter
1/2 cup of dried berries
pinch of cinnamon
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup any kind of milk
1/4 cup cream (omit if vegan and add more nondairy milk)
1/4 cup maple syrup
directions:
on medium low, cook your oats, milk, and cream until the oats start to absorb the milk (about 5 minutes or so).
add in the maple syrup, almond butter, berries, and cinnamon and stir
if it starts getting too thick, you can add a splash of water and mix well.
serve in your bowl with another drizzle of the almond butter and more dried berries!
