Ingredients

  • For the oatmeal:
  • 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 small pear, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 cup water
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons steel cut oats
  • 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the spiced pear topping:
  • 1 pear, chopped
  • 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Heat the coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped pear, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the pears begin to soften.
  2. Pour in the almond milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the rolled oats, steel cut oats, flax seeds, and chia seeds.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  4. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the chopped pear, cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg. Cook for 3–5 minutes until the pears soften.
  5. Stir in the maple syrup and cook until it thickens and caramelizes around the pears. Remove from heat.
  6. Once the oatmeal is finished, stir in the vanilla extract and maple syrup.
  7. Divide the oatmeal into bowls and spoon the caramelized pear topping over each before serving.

Notes

  • Use slightly firm pears for best texture.
  • Swap steel cut oats for more rolled oats if preferred.
  • Adjust maple syrup to taste or use a mashed banana for sweetness.
  • Add a splash of milk when reheating as oatmeal will thicken.
  • Top with nuts, seeds, or nut butter for extra richness and texture.
