This Almond Croissant Baked Oats recipe is a delightful twist on traditional baked oats, incorporating the rich flavors of almond paste and the crunch of flaked almonds. Inspired by the classic almond croissant, this dish combines wholesome oats with a custardy batter and a sweet almond topping, making it a perfect hearty breakfast or brunch option that is both comforting and indulgent.

Ingredients

Baked Oats:

  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Almond Paste:

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Topping:

  • 1/4 cup flaked almonds
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the oats evenly.
  2. Prepare Baked Oats Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the rolled oats, baking powder, and salt, and stir to combine all ingredients well.
  3. Make Almond Paste: In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, almond flour, white sugar, egg, and almond extract. Mix thoroughly until it forms a smooth, thick almond paste.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Pour half of the baked oats mixture into a greased baking dish or individual ramekins. Dollop the almond paste evenly over the oats layer, then pour the remaining baked oats mixture over the almond paste, spreading it evenly.
  5. Add Topping: Sprinkle the flaked almonds evenly over the top to add crunch and a nutty flavor.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the oats are set and cooked through.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats for better texture; quick oats will result in a softer bake.
  • Adjust sugar to taste if you prefer less sweetness or a sugar substitute for a healthier option.
  • This recipe can be made ahead and reheated for a quick breakfast.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
  • Flaked almonds add a crunchy texture, but chopped almonds can be used as well.
