Can’t believe it’s taken me so long to get this post up!

These Almond Croissant Baked Oats were actually my first recipe to go viral on TikTok back in April/May earlier this year.

They’re made with oats and flax as a base, and then have an almond topping consisting of almond butter and sliced almonds, along with powdered sugar.

They’re pretty easy to make. I’ve been making oat bars like these for breakfast for the past five years or so now. I store them in the fridge and I love them alongside a nice cup of coffee for breakfast.

The Recipe – Almond Croissant Baked Oats

Ingredients:

Base ingredients
—2 cups oat flour
—1 cup oats
—1/2 cup ground flax
—1/2 cup demerara sugar
—1/2 teaspoon salt
—1 teaspoon baking powder
—2 cups milk of choice, I used an oat one this time

Topping ingredients
—1/3 cup almond butter (optional)
—sliced almonds
—icing sugar

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 180C/350F fan. Mix all ingredients for the base together in a mixing bowl, starting with the dry and ending with the milk. Spoon into a greased or lined pan – mine was a 9×9 inch pan. Spoon on the almond butter (optional) and swirl it with the back of the spoon or a butter knife, then top with the sliced almonds. Bake for 20 minutes, then let cool and top with the icing sugar (put it through a sieve).

Slice and enjoy for breakfast or as a snack — these are probably much healthier than a lot of the sugary cereals or premixed oatmeals out there!

Thanks to Holland and Barret for the oats and flax, and Oatly for the milk (I used the barista blend for this recipe).

A note about flax:

I love ground flax … it’s a source of omega 3s and other nutrients well. I would call it a superfood. If you don’t want to use flax you could sub with more oat flour, but I would add more oats than just 1/2 cup (about 1 extra cup should do it) as the flax likely up some liquid. I got my flax at a Holland and Barrett.

Enjoy – if you make these I’d love to hear what you think!
