One of my favorite desserts at Crumbs is the Apple Blueberry Tart. It is so delicious warmed up before pouring on a delicious vanilla creme anglaise…I’m drooling here thinking about it. Here’s a picture below so you can drool too.
Apple blueberry is a lovely combo for a sweet breakfast. So I recreated the flavors of the Crumbs Apple Blueberry Tart in this delicious baked oatmeal. For a quicker version just add the blueberries to the mix without making the compote, and if you don’t have the vanilla pudding, you can skip that too. It will make the oatmeal less sweet, which many people would prefer. However I have a serious sweet tooth in case you haven’t noticed, and if you do too, then taking those extra steps will make having dessert for breakfast absolutely guilt-free.
I used almond milk to make the oatmeal, but you can use any milk you prefer, just bear in mind if it’s sweetened you might want to omit the honey. It will also be sweeter if you use a red apple instead of green, which I prefer. Be sure to use rolled oats, however if you only have quick-cooking, adjust the baking time accordingly.
Pre-heat the oven to 350F or 160C. Brush a single portion baking dish, or 2 ramekins, with some coconut oil and set aside.
Start by making the compote if using – place the blueberries and maple syrup in a small saucepan. Heat for a few minutes until you have syrup. Set aside.
Whisk together the milk with the honey and vanilla.
In a small bowl mix the oats with the cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Add the milk into the oat mixture and stir well. Fold in the grated apple.
Pour half the oatmeal into the baking dish. Spoon on half of the blueberry compote. Pour over the remaining oatmeal, and top with the remaining compote. Swirl in with a table knife. Sprinkle coconut sugar, cinnamon and walnuts on top. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
Serve as is, or dollop on the vanilla pudding for a sweeter oatmeal.
