Almond Croissant Baked Oats
We love how versatile baked oats are and this makes for a delicious cosy, healthy breakfast with flavours reminiscent of the classic pastry. These Almond Croissant Baked Oats are easy to make, naturally sweetened, and topped with flaked almonds for a delicious finish. Perfect for a cozy morning or a quick dessert-style treat!
Takes 25 minutes
Serves 2
Ingredients
- 60 g 2/3 cup oats
- 40 g 1/3 cup ground almonds (almond flour)
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1/2 cup 120ml almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp plant-based yogurt adds creaminess and helps bind
- Pinch salt
For Topping
- 2 tbsp flaked almonds
- 1 tsp icing sugar optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease two ramekins or one medium-sized baking dish.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, ground almonds, and baking powder.
- Prepare wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, almond extract, and the plant-based yogurt until smooth.
- Combine: Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
- Pour into dishes: Divide the mixture evenly into two ramekins or a single baking dish.
- Decorate: Top with flaked almonds and sprinkle with icing sugar for a golden, slightly crispy finish.
- Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and set.
- Serve: Enjoy warm for a dessert-like breakfast, optionally drizzled with more maple syrup or paired with a dollop of plant-based yogurt.
Would this work with lactose-reduced regular milk? I don’t use plant based milks. Also, I would use homemade lactose reduced yogurt.
Delicious! Another great recipe guys, thank you!
Would love the macros and kcal
Making it for the second morning in a row…delicious
Hi Maria, we are so glad you are enjoying the recipe!!!🥰💚
I’ve tried many baked oat recipes and when they have protein powder added, yuk! Since becoming GF and Lactose Intolerant i can’t find many protein recipes with added protein powder, which most are vile. This recipe OMG truly scrumptious and satisfying, easily made up in the morning for breakfast, I even cooked in AF, perfect. Excellent recipe, thank you 😊
So glad you found this recipe satisfying and delicious! 🎉 Love that the air fryer worked perfectly too, such a game changer for quick breakfasts! 😊
This was EXCELLENT! I followed the recipe as written (except used dairy products in place of plant-based). This will become a regular in my house.
We are glad to know that you enjoyed the recipe!🙌🏼🥰
Is there a way to get nutritional content?
Very delicious! Works with dairy milks & yogurt. I used soy milk & Greek yogurt. I also used vanilla extract as I had run out of almond. Used erithritol (spelling?) maple flavored syrup as I limit sugar. All good. Topped with more yogurt to serve to up protein.
Found this to be a little disappointing. Not really sweet enough. Lacking in flavor. Kind of like the top of a British Bakewell tart without the corresponding pop of the raspberry jelly/jam. Not the caramelized ‘middle of an almond croissant” that was suggested
Just curious, how long would these last after baking?
(Not that they would last long in my house ha – but thinking about batch baking)
This can vary depending on factors like ingredients, freshness, and how they are stored. As a general guide, we recommend keeping them refrigerated in an airtight container for not more than a week 😊
Could the sugar content be reduced a bit – maybe 1 tbsp maple syrup? Trying to be good!!!
Yes, you can reduce the sugar! Using 1 tbsp of maple syrup instead should just fine. Let us know how it turns out! 😊
Great recipe I added protein powder and a bit more milk and yoghurt to make up for that.
It came out beautifully!
Thank you! 😍
Regarding almond flour is this the same as almond meal? Thanks looking forward to making this
Almond flour is usually finer and made from blanched almonds, while almond meal is coarser and may include the skins. They can often be used interchangeably, but the texture may vary slightly. Hope you enjoy making it! 😊
What size is the pan? I have no idea what your idea of a “medium sized baking dish” is. I want to make this for valentine’s breakfast but just noticed this info is missing. Thanks.
This is divine. I can’t seem to find the calories if its calorie friendly?
We loved it, and smells so lovely! Are the oats replaceable by oatmeal? So not the flakes but the powder?
So glad you loved it! 😍 You can swap oats for oatmeal (the finer powder), but it may change the texture a bit. Substitutions can tweak the final result, so feel free to experiment and see what works best for you. The fun is in the process—happy cooking! 😊✨
Absolutely delicious! Felt like a really indulgent breakfast. Can’t wait to have the second half tomorrow!
So glad you enjoyed it! 😍
I’m not sure why mine came out very dry, I love almond croissant so I will certainly try it again, but if anyone has ideas would love to hear them.
I did not overcook it, and it was not too thin in the pan.
I added raspberries to the mixture as my granddaughter and I love them . It was delicious. Doesn’t need that salt though -weird
Glad you both enjoyed it! 😊✨
Is there another way to see the recipe for Almond Croissant Oats? I keep losing it when I tru to X out of joining Recipe Club. It looks so good!
I really enjoyed that. I ate the two portions myself. Breakfast and lunch. I only made slight modifications. I will eat it again. Thanks guys!
What is the nutritional content for this recipe? (Calories, fat, protein, carbs)
These are amazing! Any idea of calories per serving?
Thank you!
Just made this for breakfast. I loved it. Not too sweet but I liked that about it. Really tasty and a good option for me cause I hate the consistency of porridge.
Looking forward to trying it with raspberries or chocolate chips.
Please post the Macros, all fine and good to post healthy recipes but without the macros/calories how can ppl incorporate these into their diets?
