Ingredients

4 ½ cups fat-free milk (traditional or lactose-free)

1 ½ cups quick-cooking rolled oats

1/2 cup blueberries, dried

1/4 cup sugar, granulated

1/4 cup blueberries, fresh

Preparation

01In a saucepan over medium heat, combine milk, oats and dried blueberries. Bring to a simmer, stirring consistently for approximately 8 minutes until oats are tender and fruit is slightly reconstituted.

02Spoon 1 cup of oat mixture into 5 (8-ounce) bowls. Tap each bowl gently to level the top. Let set for 5 minutes until top is slightly firm and oats have absorbed all remaining liquid.

03Spread about 1 tablespoon of sugar evenly on top of each bowl (covering as much of the surface as possible) and use a blow torch or brûlée torch to “brûlée” the top of each bowl.

04Garnish each bowl with 1 tablespoon of blueberries; serve warm.
