Healthy Breakfast Crème Brûlée

Too much work is often the excuse for eating poorly or just eating out a lot. But regardless of how much work you have to get done, you can still eat well. You can even eat fabulously well!

This breakfast dish is the perfect example. It’s quick to make, healthy, visually divine and oh so tasty. Who knew oatmeal could look so good?

I call it Breakfast Crème Brûlée mostly because of the experience in eating it. There is no cream, in fact it is vegan. But with the brûléed topping and served in a ramekin, how can you not call it that?

    1 cup old-fashioned oats
    2 cups of water
    1 cup unsweetened berries
    1/4 cup nuts, chopped
    1/2 cup dried berries
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    2 tablespoons brown sugar
    1/4 cup maple syrup (optional)

1. Bring the water to a boil and add in the oats and salt. Reduce to a low simmer and cook for five minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit covered for two minutes.

2. Divide the berries (I used frozen as fresh are not in season yet here), nuts, and dried berries along with the oatmeal between two ramekins.

3. Top with the brown sugar. If you want to add in maple syrup, do it before adding the brown sugar.

4. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and in the broiler on high for about 5 minutes, making sure it doesn’t burn.

Serve warm and enjoy!
