INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

Creamy, slow-cooked oats, sweet, jammy pears, a crispy pecan-date crunch, and a final hit of passionfruit to keep things interesting. It’s rich but not heavy, naturally sweet but not cloying, and the kind of thing that makes you feel like you’re staying at a really nice boutique hotel (even if you’re still in pajamas). Plus, it’s easy to make ahead, which is always a win.

How to serve
Serve this in your favorite bowl, drizzle with a little extra syrup if you’re feeling fancy, and don’t skimp on the crunch, it’s the best part. The passionfruit should be the last thing you add to keep that fresh, tart contrast. If you want to take it up a notch, add a dollop of yogurt or a splash of coconut milk. And if you’re a texture person, toasted coconut or cacao nibs would be a solid move.

How to store
Leftover oats keep in the fridge for up to 3 days, just reheat with a splash of milk or water to bring them back to life. The pear compote and crunch store separately in airtight containers (compote in the fridge, crunch at room temp) for easy layering all week.

A Little Love Letter

This is the kind of breakfast that makes mornings feel a little fancier than they actually are. Creamy vanilla yogurt, perfectly chilled, topped with fresh banana, kiwi, and passion fruit for that sweet-tart balance, plus a generous spoonful of homemade granola that’s golden, crunchy, and packed with chewy dried fruit. It’s fresh, naturally sweet, and can easily be prepped ahead, ideal for busy mornings or lazy Sundays.

This bowl is best served cold, straight from the fridge. For the perfect bite, get a little bit of everything on your spoon: creamy yogurt, juicy fruit, and crunchy granola. Want to level it up? Drizzle some almond butter on top or add a sprinkle of coconut flakes for an extra tropical twist. If you’re feeling fancy, serve it in a chilled bowl for that extra-refreshing vibe. Morning coffee on the side? Always a good idea.

The granola keeps for weeks in an airtight container, so make a big batch ahead of time. The yogurt and fruit are best assembled fresh, but you can pre-chop the fruit and store it in the fridge for a quick grab-and-go breakfast. Just add everything together when you’re ready to eat!

This is not your basic French toast. We’re talking crispy, caramelized edges, a creamy vanilla yogurt topping, and a tangy passionfruit glaze that adds just the right amount of freshness. It’s that perfect balance of buttery, crunchy, and melt-in-your-mouth softness that makes brunch feel extra. Whether you’re treating yourself on a slow Sunday morning or trying to impress someone with minimal effort, this dish is a guaranteed win. Think tropical, cozy, and just fancy enough to feel special without the hassle.

This one shines brightest when served fresh off the pan: crispy and golden. Drizzle that passionfruit glaze generously, dollop some vanilla yogurt on top, and let it all melt together in the best way.

French toast is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day. Reheat in a pan to keep the crispiness. The yogurt and glaze should be stored separately and added just before serving.

  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 45 min

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • blender
  • medium-sized saucepan
  • whisk
  • a bowl which the medium saucepan fits into
  • 2 medium-sized bowls
  • 2 fine mesh strainers
  • oil bottle
  • ice cubes
  • coffee filter

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 orange
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 8 cloves
  • 1 star anise
  • 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
  • 250 milliliter rapeseed oil

Instructions

  1. Zest the orange and put it along with the cloves, cinnamon, cardamom and star anise into the blender. Pour in the oil. Blend on the highest setting until it no coarse pieces are longer visible.
  2. Pour the mixture from the blender into a medium-sized pot and heat it over medium heat, constantly stirring, to a temperature of about 102°-103°C (215°-217°F). Then, let the oil simmer with the lid partially on for the next 10 minutes. Stir only occasionally, making sure the temperature remains steady and nothing gets burned.
  3. At the end of the cooking process, prepare a bowl large enough to fit the medium-sized pot, filled with cold water and a handful of ice cubes. Also, hang a fine mesh sieve strainer over a medium-sized bowl.
  4. Now, place the pot in the ice water and stir to stop the cooking process. Once the oil is almost cold, remove the pot from the water and pour the oil into the first fine mesh sieve to catch the coarse particle.
  5. Then, pour the oil into the second fine mesh sieve, which you before equipped with a coffee filter, to catch the remaining finer particles.
  6. Allow the oil to drip through for about 30 minutes or maybe less depending on how many remaining particles are in the coffee filter. Once all the oil has passed through the coffee filter, transfer the collected amount of oil into an oil bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Apple Pie Rolls with Vanilla & Caramel Sauce & Milk Crumble


  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 75 min
  • Yield: 4-6 1x

Description

Recommended Equipment

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • two small pots
  • two small bowls
  • oven

Ingredients

Units Scale
APPLE PIE ROLLS
  • 8 filo pastry sheets
  • 1 apple
  • 150 milliliter apple juice
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 15 grams white sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • pinch of salt
CARAMEL CINNAMON SAUCE
  • 75g white sugar
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 20 grams butter
  • 75 grams heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
VANILLA SAUCE
  • 150 grams heavy cream
  • 150 milliliter full-fat milk
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • 50 grams brown sugar
  • pinch of salt
MILK CRUMBLE
  • 30 grams full-fat milk powder
  • 50 grams all-purpose flour
  • 30 grams powdered sugar
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 25 grams butter
  • 45 grams white chocolate

Instructions

  1. For the apple filling, dice the apples and add them to a pot with apple juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes until the apples are soft. Mix cornstarch with 2 tbsp of cold water, then stir it into the apple mixture. Bring to a quick boil until it thickens, then remove from heat and let cool.
  2. For the caramel-cinnamon sauce, heat sugar and water in a pot until it reaches 170°C (340°F) and turns a light golden caramel (about 10–15 minutes). Remove from heat and carefully stir in butter and cream – it may clump, but just keep stirring. Add a pinch of salt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon, mix well, and let it cool.
  3. For the milk crumble, combine milk powder, flour, powdered sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add melted butter and mix with your hands until crumbly. Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet and bake at 140°C (285°F) for about 10 minutes. While it bakes, melt the white chocolate. Once the crumble is baked, transfer it to a bowl, drizzle the melted chocolate over it, and stir until it forms larger clusters. Set aside.
  4. Next, prepare the vanilla sauce. You can find the recipe here.
  5. For the filo rolls, place a heaping tablespoon of the apple filling on each sheet of filo dough. Fold in the sides, roll them up, and seal the ends with a bit of water. Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush them with melted butter, and bake at 180°C (355°F) for about 15 minutes until golden brown.
  6. To serve, pour the vanilla sauce onto plates or bowls, cut the filo rolls into three pieces each, and arrange them on top of the sauce. Drizzle with the caramel-cinnamon sauce and finish with milk crumbles. Enjoy!
