Step-by-step
- Place a small skillet over medium-high heat and add in the almonds. Let toast for 5 minutes or until fragrant and golden brown. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Bring two cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepot. Add in the oatmeal, bring to a boil again and then reduce heat to low and let simmer, letting cook until all water is absorbed.
- Once oatmeal is done, drizzle evenly over with the almond butter and jelly. Pour ¼ cup of almond milk per bowl and then top with almonds and garnish with toasted almonds. Serve immediately.
Rolled oats do the primary structural work in this bowl, requiring proper hydration to lose their raw starchiness. Simmering them gently after the initial boil prevents the liquid from evaporating before the starches fully gelatinize. Slivered almonds demand dry heat in a medium-high skillet for five minutes; watch for a deep golden hue and aromatic oils releasing to signal doneness. Raw fruit loses rigidity when spiralized, offering a crisp textural contrast to the soft grains.
Pairing this breakfast with a side of scrambled eggs introduces complementary fats and proteins that balance the carbohydrate load, stabilizing blood sugar through the morning. Acidic citrus segments or a green tea infusion also cut through the richness of the nut butter.
Cool leftovers promptly and store them in a sealed glass container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheating dense chilled oats requires splashing an extra tablespoon of almond milk into the bowl to loosen the starches before microwaving.
