Best Maple Oatmeal With Dried Fruit Recipes

COPYCAT MCDONALD'S MAPLE BROWN SUGAR & FRUIT OATMEAL

Steps:

• Place oats, dried fruit, sugar and cream in jar and cover with one cup of water.
• Screw on the lid and shake to mix.
• If you're using a bowl, stir it with a spoon and then cover with a plate before microwaving.
• Dice the apple and store in a plastic bag.
• When ready to prepare remove the jar's lid and microwave the jar for one minute, and stir the contents.
• Then microwave again for about 1minute and 5 seconds.
• Stir in the apples and you're ready to go!
• Of course, you don't have to use apples at all. Nuts are a great addition, as are tons of other mix-ins. I am so happy about making it!

IRISH OATMEAL BRULEE WITH DRIED FRUIT AND MAPLE CREAM

Steps:

• Place oats in a bowl, and cover with water by 2 inches. Cover bowl, and let stand overnight.
• In a small saucepan, combine cream, star anise, cinnamon stick and orange zest. Bring mixture to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove spices and orange. Whisk maple syrup into cream, increase heat to medium-high and simmer until mixture thickens enough to coat back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, drain oats and place them in a saucepan with 3 1/4 cups water. Simmer over medium heat until tender but not mushy, about 15 minutes. Stir in salt.
• Preheat broiler. In a small bowl, combine dried fruit and nuts. Divide half the oatmeal among four broiler-proof bowls or large ramekins, then top with fruits and nuts. Cover with remaining oatmeal, and smooth tops. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar over each, and place under broiler. Broil until sugar caramelizes and forms a crust, about 1 to 2 minutes. Watch carefully so sugar doesn't burn. Serve immediately with maple cream.
