Pear Oatmeal
Spiced pear oatmeal full of rolled oats, cooked pears, cinnamon, brown sugar, and butter is a weekday breakfast delight.
Servings: 5 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 3½ cups water
- ½ cup pecans or walnuts chopped, plus more for topping if desired
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- dash of nutmeg
- 3 medium size ripe pears about 2 cups worth, peeled and diced small
- ¼ cup light brown sugar adjust to taste
- butter a teaspoon or so for on top of each serving
Instructions
- Combine the oats, water, pecans or walnuts, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium-sized saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
- As soon as it boils, reduce the heat to low and simmer for just a few minutes until the oats are soft. Stir in the pears and cook just long enough to warm them, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
- Scoop into serving bowls and top with butter and brown sugar, keeping in mind that the sweeter the pears, the less sugar you may need.
