Bruléed Oatmeal with Vanilla Baked Plums
Author: 
Recipe type: Mains, Sweets
Serves: 2 servings
 
Ingredients
  • For the Bruléed Oatmeal:
  • 1 cup steel cut oats
  • 3 cups nut milk of choice
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • Pinch of salt
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • For the Vanilla Poached Plums:
  • 2 ripe plums, cut into thick slices or wedges
  • ¼ cup apple cider
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • 3-4 sprigs fresh thyme
Instructions
  1. Place the oats, nut milk, cinnamon stick and salt in a large saucepan, and bring to a boil. Once the mixture is boiling, cover, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for approximately 15 minutes give or take, until the oats are tender but not mushy.
  2. Meanwhile, mix the coconut sugar and maple syrup together in a small bowl.
  3. Turn your broiler on; preferably to the low setting if you have both low and high options.
  4. Once the oatmeal is cooked, divide it evenly into two oven-safe bowls. Spoon equal parts of the coconut sugar mixture over the top of each bowl of oatmeal. Arrange the plums skin-side up in a separate oven-proof dish, along with vanilla bean and thyme, and pour the apple cider over the top. Place the bowls of oatmeal, as well as the dish of plums underneath the broiler (about 10 inches underneath it, if possible), and broil for approximately 8-10 minutes until the oatmeal is bubbling and the topping is caramelized, and the plums are soft and browned. To serve, spoon the plums and cider on top of the oatmeal.
