Oatmeal Brulée in a Jam Jar with Fruit and Nuts - Vegan!

I enjoy oatmeal, however not by itself. The plain pale mush constantly requires a little something to assist it along; at the minimum, a couple of berries spread over the top. I like this dish due to the fact that it makes routine old boring oatmeal feel a bit elegant and decadent.

Oatmeal Brûlée in a Jam Jar with Fruit and Nuts

Active ingredients

4 cups water
1 cup steel-cut oats
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Your preferred berries and nuts

Cooking instructions

In a big pot, bring water to a boil and stir in the oatmeal and salt. Lower heat to low, cover and simmer for about 40 minutes, stirring frequently. When almost all the water has actually been soaked up, the oats are done. Stir in the cinnamon.

Put the oatmeal into 4 ovenproof jam containers or ramekins. Stir together the brown and granulated sugar and spray over the tops of the oatmeal.

You can brulée in one of two methods. You can pre-heat the broiler of your oven, put the ramekins on a flat pan, and broil for a couple minutes up until the sugar melts and forms a crust. Or if you should happen to have a brulée torch, you can simply fire that up and wave it over the tops to melt the sugar and produce a crust that way. In any case, you're looking at simply a couple additional minutes for a creme brulée-style oatmeal breakfast.

Enjoy!
