Spring Breakfast from the Oven with Apple and Pistachio
This is a fresh and sweet breakfast that’s perfect to enjoy with the spring sun on your face, while the breeze carries the scent of cherry blossoms from the neighbor’s garden and the chirping of a passing house sparrow subtly breaks the silence. This dish is also delicious when the weather isn’t quite as nice, or when you have time in the morning to wait fifteen minutes for the oven but don’t feel like putting in a lot of effort for breakfast. In all these cases, this breakfast will put a smile on your face. The combination of apple and mint is super tasty, but chocolate and apple are also a fantastic pairing. The mint and chocolate elevate each other to the next level, and the pistachio paste pairs perfectly with all the other ingredients. Add to that a sweet oatmeal crumble, and you’re all set. This breakfast is truly one you have to try. Go ahead and add it to your bucket list. 😉

Zoë, what should I do with the leftover ingredients?
- Oatmeal
Oatmeal is such a great ingredient to include in breakfast. It gives your breakfast that satisfying feeling you’re looking for in the morning, but it also keeps you full long afterward. For example, try this oatmeal with cranberries or these oatmeal cookies with almonds.
- (Soy) yogurt
You can also use the yogurt in this kiwi smoothie. You can also put the yogurt to good use in this oatmeal with plums.
- Pistachio Paste
Pistachio paste can add an extra touch of sophistication to many dishes. For example, it would be delicious as a finishing touch on this blueberry smoothie or on this oatmeal with apple.
- Fresh mint
Mint is said to be an easy plant to start your own little herb garden with. If you’d rather not plant the excess in your garden, you can also use it to make this chocolate cake or in this mocktail.
