Cobbler-Style Oatmeal

This fruity, jammy oatmeal is topped with a quick and healthy crumble topping that is the perfect mixture of salty and sweet. It is a breakfast that comes together in no time, but mimics everything I love about fruit cobble. I use a peach here, but use whatever fruit you like. It will be good no matter what!

Servings: 1 serving

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 medium peach, 240 grams / 8.5 ounces, or 240 grams of your fruit of choice, see Note for suggestions
  • 2 cups water, separated
  • 2/3 cup old fashioned rolled oats , 65 grams / 2.3 ounces
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup flax meal, lightly packed , 30 grams / 1 ounce
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon cool water
  • 1/8 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • 1/3 cup milk of choice, for serving

Instructions 

  1. Core and dice the peach into bite-sized pieces. Add the pieces to a pot and place the pot over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 cup of water to the fruit and bring this to a gentle simmer, this gives the fruit a head start on getting softened and jammy with the oats.
  3. When the pot is simmering, add the oats and the additional cup of water. Stir to combine. Let this come to a gentle simmer, then cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5-6 minutes.
  4. Season the oats with 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon and vanilla extract. Stir.
  5. While the oats are cooking, to a small bowl add the 1/4 cup of flax meal, 1 teaspoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of cool water and 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt. Mix with your fingers until it turns into a crumbly, cobbler-topping-like texture. Taste and add more salt as you prefer.
  6. When the oats have thickened, pour them into a serving bowl and let them cool for a few minutes.
  7. Sprinkle the cobbler topping evenly over the oats. Drizzle some milk on the edge of the bowl for serving, if that's your thing. Eat immediately!

Notes

Note: I also love apple, pear, raspberries, blackberries, apricot, strawberries, or really any fruit that can get jammy in this recipe!
