Almond Croissant Baked Oatmeal Highlights

Rolled oats – our hearty, cozy and nourishing base.

Soy milk + vanilla extract – for a creamy, sweet texture.

Almond butter tofu whip – made from silken tofu, almond butter, maple syrup, and almond extract for a creamy, protein-rich layer that tastes like a bakery filling.

Vegan almond croissant – torn and nestled right on top (you can find these at select bakeries or make your own if you’re feeling ambitious. I bought plain plant-based croissants from Farm Boy and then brushed maple syrup and sprinkled almonds on top.

Maple syrup + slivered almonds – brushed and sprinkled over the top for that classic toasted almond finish.
