This Spiced Pear Oatmeal tastes like being wrapped up in a cozy blanket while sitting in your favorite oversized chair in front of a glowing fireplace.

Ingredients and substitutions:

  • Rolled oats - use gluten free if needed. The recipe will not work if you try and use quick oats or steel cut oats. Stick to rolled.
  • Water
  • Milk - I used soy milk, but any milk you like would work. Almond, coconut, 2%, etc.
  • Salt - to bring out the flavors.
  • Pear - any variety. I leave the skin on, but you can remove it if you'd like.
  • Walnuts - for texture and flavor! You could also use pecans or almonds.
  • Maple syrup - naturally sweetens our oatmeal. Feel free to replace it with your favorite sweetener or increase/decrease it to taste.
  • Cinnamon - adds delicious warmth. You could also use pumpkin pie spice.

How to make pear oatmeal:

Cook the oatmeal: Bring the water and milk to a simmer in a pot. Stir in the oats and salt. Cook until the oats are tender and creamy.

Add the pears: Remove the pot from the heat. stir in the pears, walnuts, maple and cinnamon. Cover, and let it sit for 1 minute to soften the pears.

Serve: Top the oatmeal with more walnuts, maple, and cinnamon.

  • Diced pears on a cutting board.
  • Creamy oatmeal in a pot with a wooden spoon.
  • Pears stirred into oatmeal in a pot.

Leftovers?

This pear oatmeal recipe is great as leftovers! Store leftovers in a lidded container in the fridge for 5 days.

To reheat, stir in a splash of milk and warm on the store, stirring often, or in the microwave until warmed through.

When oats cool, they thicken so the extra splash of milk will help get then back to their original consistancy and reheat evenly.

How to make creamy oatmeal?

This pear oatmeal is ultra creamy. The secret? Using half water and half milk. It creates the perfect bowl of oats. I used soy milk, but you can use any milk you prefer.

If you're using a thinner milk, like almond milk or 1% milk, consider using more milk and less water to achieve a creamy oatmeal.

      LOVE the idea of using a slow cooker! Can't wait to try that myself. There is NOTHING better than waking up to breakfast that is already cooked :)
