This recipe features a creamy almond-flavored oat base filled with a rich almond paste center, topped with sliced almonds and lightly dusted with powdered sugar for a delightful breakfast or brunch treat.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 3 servings

Ingredients

Baked Oats

  • 1 cup oats (quick or rolled oats)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp almond butter
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or 1 ripe banana
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1/2 tsp almond emulsion
  • 3 tbsp sliced almonds
  • powdered sugar (optional)

Almond Paste Filling (optional)

  • 1/3 cup almond flour
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or sugar
  • 1 tsp almond emulsion

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare ramekins: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease 3 ramekins to prevent sticking and allow even cooking.
  2. Blend the baked oats mixture: Combine the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, pinch of salt, almond butter, egg, milk, Greek yogurt (or banana), maple syrup, vanilla bean paste, and almond emulsion in a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Prepare almond paste filling (if using): In a small bowl, mix together the almond flour, egg, maple syrup or sugar, and almond emulsion until it forms a consistent paste. This will serve as the almond-flavored filling.
  4. Assemble the ramekins: Pour the oat mixture into each ramekin, filling them about two-thirds full. Add a spoonful of the almond paste to the center of each ramekin, gently pressing down to embed it within the batter. Sprinkle sliced almonds evenly over the top of each ramekin.
  5. Bake the oats: Place the ramekins in the preheated oven and bake for 22 to 28 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the oats (avoiding the almond paste center); it should come out clean and the top should be golden brown.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the ramekins from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Optionally, dust the tops with powdered sugar before serving for added sweetness and an elegant finish.

Notes

  • You can substitute Greek yogurt with a ripe banana for a dairy-free yogurt alternative.
  • Adjust the sweetness to taste by increasing or reducing maple syrup.
  • For a vegan version, replace the egg with flax or chia egg alternatives and use plant-based yogurt and milk.
  • Use quick oats for a smoother texture or rolled oats for more bite.
  • The almond paste filling is optional but adds a richer almond flavor reminiscent of traditional almond croissants.
  • Ensure the ramekins are not filled to the top to prevent overflow during baking.
