    Looking for new oatmeal toppings? This Baklava Oatmeal is so darn good it needs its own hashtag! How about #baklavaoatmeal or #bestbreakfastever?

    Gluten Free Baklava Oatmeal recipe by @beardandbonnet on www.thismessisours.com

    Ahhhh weekday mornings, the stuff that dreams are made of. If by dreams, you mean nightmares! Mornings are frantic at our house to say the least and although I am a little ashamed to admit it, we tend to grab and go when it comes to breakfast.

    The fruit bandit will usually settle for a banana while our teenager prepares her own breakfast; honestly I shudder to think what that might be. Todd and I, well, we rarely eat unless there are breakfast bars in the house. My head is officially hanging in shame over here, but now you know our truth! It isn’t pretty – it just is what it is.

    My issue lies in the fact that unless it takes less than 15 minutes I just don’t have time. In between packing lunches, dressing fidgety preschoolers and debating about the length of my daughters shorts there just isn’t room for much else unless I give up brushing my teeth before I wander out into the world. #nevergonnahappen

    I was beyond hope with our weekday breakfast routine until I met the great folks at Quaker last month and learned about their new gluten free products. Quaker’s Gluten Free Oats deliver the same great taste and texture of traditional Quaker Oats that consumers know and love and come in three varieties: Quaker Quick 1-Minute Oats (18 oz. canister) and Quaker Instant Oatmeal (single-serve pouches) in both Original and Maple & Brown Sugar flavors.

    Out of all of our favorite oatmeal toppings, this Baklava Oatmeal takes the cake!

    So, for the past few weeks over Christmas break I spent time whipping up quick oat inspired breakfasts to see if I could come up with a few family favorite oatmeal breakfasts for our crazy hectic weekday mornings. During my testing these Baklava Oatmeal toppings, it received a household rating of 8 thumbs up which honestly doesn’t happen very often – 8 thumbs up!!!!! #momswinning

    • Author: This Mess is Ours
    • Yield: 2 servings 1x

    Ingredients

    Scale

    For the baklava topping

    • ¼ cup roasted unsalted pistachio pieces
    • ¼ cup roasted unsalted pecan pieces
    • ¼ cup roasted unsalted walnut pieces
    • ¼ cup shredded sweetened coconut
    • 2 tablespoons melted butter
    • 2 tablespoons orange blossom honey
    • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
    • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
    • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt

    For the oats

    • 1 ¾ cup or (1) 13.5 ounce can lite coconut milk
    • 2 tablespoons orange blossom honey
    • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1 cup Quaker Quick 1-Minute Gluten Free Oats

    Instructions

    1. In a small mixing bowl combine the pistachios, pecans, walnuts, and coconut. Stir to combine. In a separate small dish whisk together the butter, honey, cinnamon, vanilla, cardamom, cloves and salt. Pour the wet ingredients over the nut mixture and stir to coat. Set aside.
    2. Heat the coconut milk, honey and salt over medium-high heat until boiling. Stir in the Quaker Gluten Free Oats and cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat. The oatmeal may seem thin at this point, but it will thicken as it cools.
    3. Divide the oatmeal between two serving bowls then divide the baklava topping between the bowls. Serve immediately.

    Notes

    Make ahead tip!

    You can roast the nuts ahead of time and combine them with the shredded coconut. Keep this mixture stored in an airtight container. When ready to prepare the oats all you will need to do is add the wet topping ingredients. This should shave a few minutes of your prep time for those busy weekday mornings!

    This recipe is an original creation of Beard and Bonnet. When you make this recipe at home, be sure to look for ingredients labeled gluten free.

      I enjoy a spic, sweet and crunchy topping on my oatmeal. In a small bow, I mix shredded coconut, hemp seeds, cacao nibs, sriracha sauce and maple syrup and top my oatmeal with it. Yum!!!

      Yum! Oatmeal is always a go-to in our house for crazy mornings with two working parents and an almost toddler, who I'm still nursing (oatmeal is the best friend to the nursing mama!). We like our with diced apples and cinnamon; cranberries and white chocolate chips; freshly roasted pumpkin and nutmeg; or blueberries and cream.

      Recently being diagnosed with Grave's Disease, changing up my diet to Gluten Free products, took away the great breakfast of oatmeal. Now that I know there is Gluten Free Quaker oats, I'll top mine with a smile made out of blueberries!

      I am gluten intolerant since near-death following reactions to an antibiotic. Also, dairy intolerant, and refined sugar causes systemic fungal infections. I am more than grateful for delicious and nutritious meals that help me heal from my pharmaceutical disaster.

      We always have applesauce on hand in our fridge, so I always throw applesauce and some cinnamon on my oatmeal. The warm applesauce mixed with the warm oatmeal really heats you up on a cold morning.
