This Honey Crème Brûlée Oatmeal recipe transforms classic creamy oats into a decadent breakfast treat with a caramelized sugar crust and a drizzle of honey, topped with fresh fruit for a delightful balance of flavors and textures.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Oatmeal

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

For the Topping

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for caramelizing)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Fresh fruit (such as berries or banana slices, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
  2. Bring to a Simmer: Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a gentle simmer.
  3. Cook Oats: Reduce the heat to low and cook for about 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the oats are creamy and have absorbed most of the liquid.
  4. Transfer to Bowls: Divide the cooked oatmeal evenly into serving bowls.
  5. Sprinkle Sugar: Evenly sprinkle 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar on top of each bowl of oatmeal.
  6. Caramelize Sugar: Use a kitchen torch to carefully caramelize the sugar until it melts and forms a crispy crust; alternatively, place the bowls under a broiler for 1–2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
  7. Drizzle Honey: Once the sugar has caramelized, drizzle honey over the top of each bowl.
  8. Garnish: Add fresh fruit such as berries or banana slices as a garnish, if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute the milk with any dairy-free alternative like almond or oat milk.
  • The ground cinnamon is optional but adds a warm flavor.
  • If you don’t have a kitchen torch, use the broiler method cautiously to avoid burning.
  • Use fresh seasonal fruits to complement the honey and caramelized sugar topping.
  • This recipe can be doubled or tripled to serve more people.
