Almond croissant oats

Ingredients

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.
