Made with brûléed bananas cooked in ghee, stewed strawberries and a few other nutrient-dense toppers, this dreamy breakfast recipe is everything we want on a cozy winter morning… Cozy Winter Oatmeal
with Bruleed Fruit

For the oatmeal:
3 cups water

1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
1 pinch salt
1 pear, diced
2 cups organic old-fashioned oats
Toppings: brûléed bananas, stewed berries, pomegranate seeds, roasted walnuts, roasted almonds and fresh almond butter

Heat water + milk on stove in medium saucepan. Add cinnamon, vanilla, salt and pear to liquid. Let cook for 2 minutes Add oats and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally until most of the liquid is absorbed and the oats are fluffy (roughly 5 minutes).

Once oatmeal, banana and berries are put into bowl, add a sprinkle of frozen or fresh pomegranate seeds, roasted walnuts + almonds and a tablespoon of fresh almond butter. Add a drizzle of almond/nut milk to taste.

Be cozy and enjoy!
