Creamy, dreamy, delicious Caramelised Plum Oatmeal Bowls. You’ll be dreaming about these scrumptious bowls of warm, fruity, oat-y goodness, knowing that they’re what you’re having for breakkie the next morning!! 

These bowls are pretty irresistible (speaking for everyone who has ever tried them), no one has been disappointed yet!  Quite the opposite in fact.  Just imagine the tartness of the lightly charred plums with the sweet, caramelised honey – sticky, sweet & sour deliciousness in every bite.  Coupled with the creamy, hearty oatmeal drizzled with a little coconut milk and sprinkled with cinnamon…

ME.OH.MY.  That’s a hearty and delicious breakfast right there.

You’d think it would take forever to prepare am I right?  Only, it doesn’t!!  10 minutes and your Caramelised Plum Oatmeal Bowls are on the table, steaming hot and ready for everyone to tuck in! 

Pass me a spoon because my mouth is watering just thinking about this oatmeal breakfast…I don’t think I can wait until the morning!  Actually, I’ve had these bowls for dinner on a number of occasions.  Sometimes they’re just what I feel like at the time.  And breakfast for dinner is always allowed, isn’t it?!

I was particularly happy about having this bowl of goodness for breakfast this morning as it’s been a really rainy day today, quite chilly too.  I fear we are heading into winter a little earlier than last year.  But that’s OK, most winter days here are quite lovely. 

Since I’m actually looking forward to cozying up for a change, I’ve been thinking about all the delicious winter meals, drinks, and treat recipes I’m going to conjure up over the next few months!  I’m really excited about everything I have in mind to share with you and I can’t wait to get started.

What are some of your favourite oatmeal recipes?  The options are endless with all the delicious fruits out there! 

I hope you try these Caramelised Plum Oatmeal Bowls out this week, and if you do, let me know what you think in the comments!  I’d love to hear from you.

Ingredients

• 2 plums pitted & sliced
• 1 tsp honey
• Sprinkle of ground cinnamon
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 1/2 cups water

Instructions

1. Place a large, non stick frying pan on medium heat. Arrange the plum pieces in the frying pan and drizzle over the honey, stir to coat both sides of the plum slices. Fry the plums on both sides until they are browning and tender, and the honey is caramelising. Take them off the heat.
2. Place the rolled oats in a large microwave-safe bowl with the water, and microwave on high for 3 minutes. The oats should bubble right up at the end of the cooking time and be really creamy.
3. Spoon the oatmeal into bowls and arrange the caramelised plums on top. Sprinkle with the cinnamon, drizzle with a little more honey if you like, and serve.

Recipe Notes

This is delicious with Greek yoghurt or coconut milk. For more people, just double or triple the recipe.
