Ingredients
Baked Oats
- 1 cup oats
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp almond butter
Almond Butter Tofu Spread
- 1 pkg silken almond tofu, or plain silken tofu with 1-2 tsp of almond extract

Toasted Almond Croissant

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Mix rolled oats, chia seeds, soy milk, vanilla, and a touch of maple syrup in a sauce pan and cook on medium heat, bringing to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and bring to a simmer for 10-15 minutes until you have a pudding-like consistency.
- Whip the almond spread: Using an immersion blender, blend silken tofu, almond butter, maple syrup, and almond extract until smooth and creamy.
- Layer it on: Spread the whipped almond spread over the baked oats. Cut a croissant in half and add the remaining almond spread.
- Brush + sprinkle: Lightly brush the croissant pieces with maple syrup and sprinkle on slivered almonds.
- Top with croissant: Cut the croissant into two halves, adding one half to each ramekin.
- Toast it: Pop in the oven or under the broiler until everything is golden and slightly crisp on top.
