Roasted Plum Oatmeal Recipe

Once the plums are roasted, remove them and set aside. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring the oats, 1 cup of the milk, water, vanilla, and a pinch of salt to a boil.

Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened. If you're using quick-cooking oats, they'll be done fairly fast. You can also use rolled or instant oats; for steel-cut, just increase the cooking time according to package directions.

Stir in the remaining 1 cup of milk and the last 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Ladle the oatmeal into bowls and top each serving with a generous scoop of the warm, roasted plums.
