Servings: 1 person
Equipment
Ingredients
Oatmeal
- 1/2 cup quick oats
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tbsp date sugar
- 1 tbsp date syrup
- 1 apple I like Honeycrisp, grated and sliced (use 1/2 grated, save the rest for topping)
Stovetop granola topping
- 1/3 cup quick oats
- 1 tbsp date sugar
- 1 tbsp date syrup
- 1 tbsp vegan butter
Blueberry chia jam
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1 tbsp vegan butter
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Make the blueberry chia jam: Add blueberries, vegan butter, lemon juice and water to a small pan over medium heat. Cook 3–5 minutes until the blueberries start to burst. Stir in chia seeds, cook 1–2 minutes, then remove from heat to thicken while you make the oatmeal.
- Make the granola topping: In another small pan over medium heat, melt the vegan butter. Add oats, date sugar, and date syrup. Stir constantly and cook 4–6 minutes until toasted, browned, and crispy. Spread onto a plate so it stays crunchy.
- Make the oatmeal: In a saucepan over medium heat, add almond milk, quick oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, date sugar, date syrup, and 1/2 grated apple. Cook 10 minutes on low heat, stirring, until thick.
- Blend for smoothness: Carefully use an immersion blender right in the pot and blend until your desired texture (I like it mostly smooth).
- Assemble: Pour oatmeal into a bowl. Top with blueberry chia jam, stovetop granola, and the remaining apple sliced.
