Baked Almond Croissant Oats
I love almond croissants – with a good flat white, they’re one of life’s simple pleasures for me. However, as a vegan, it’s not always possible to find them – I often end up staring at the all butter variety forlorn. Flapjacks just don’t cut it.
I’m not sure I have either the time, patience or baking skills to make my own, so this recipe for baked almond croissant oats is a nice compromise. Courtesy of The Happy Pear, it’s simple, tastes great, and is enough to satisfy my craving for almond croissants.
