Chilled Plum-Oatmeal Pudding

• 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• Pinch of coarse salt
• 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
• 1 plum, pitted and chopped
• Pinch of ground cinnamon

Combine oats, 3/4 cup each almond milk and water, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer until oats are tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; let cool slightly. Stir in remaining 1/4 cup almond milk and 1 teaspoon maple syrup; chill overnight.

Toss plum, remaining 1 teaspoon maple syrup, and cinnamon in a bowl. Let stand 5 minutes. Serve oatmeal topped with fruit and accumulated juices. 

 

Serves 1.

 

VERDICT:  The pudding itself is bland, but it's nice with the plums.  You could put anything on it, probably, and it's easy and filling.  Keep.
