Start your day with Nutty Saffron Oatmeal topped with Spiced Persimmon Compote. A luxurious and nutritious breakfast delight!
Ingredients
- • rolled oats: 1 cup
- • saffron threads: a large pinch
- • unsweetened almond milk: 2 cups
- • maple syrup: 1 tablespoon
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • raw almonds: 2 tablespoons, chopped
- • raw walnuts: 2 tablespoons, chopped
- • ripe persimmons: 2, peeled and diced
- • ground cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
- • ground cardamom: 1/4 teaspoon
- • lemon juice: 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- 1 In a small saucepan, combine the almond milk and saffron threads. Warm over low heat, allowing the saffron to bloom and infuse its color and aroma into the milk for about 5 minutes.
- 2 Stir in the rolled oats, maple syrup, and vanilla extract into the saffron-infused milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until the oats are creamy and cooked through.
- 3 Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, combine the diced persimmons, cinnamon, cardamom, and lemon juice. Simmer over medium heat for 7-10 minutes until the persimmons are soft and the flavors meld together into a compote.
- 4 To serve, divide the saffron oatmeal into bowls. Top with the spiced persimmon compote and sprinkle with chopped almonds and walnuts for added crunch and nutrition.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Nutty Saffron Oatmeal is perfectly complemented by a side of freshly brewed green tea, which enhances the floral notes of saffron. For an added touch of freshness, serve with a bowl of mixed berries or a sliced kiwi. If you prefer a bit more sweetness, drizzle a little extra maple syrup on top or add a dollop of Greek yogurt for a creamy contrast.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover oatmeal and persimmon compote separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. The oatmeal will keep for up to 3 days, while the compote can last up to a week. To reheat, add a splash of almond milk to the oatmeal and warm it gently on the stovetop or microwave, stirring occasionally. The compote can be served cold or slightly warmed.
