Spiced Pear Oatmeal with cinnamon spiced caramelized pears, golden raisins, and walnuts is an incredible changeup to your morning porridge! This easy breakfast recipe comes together quickly and is such a delight to consume!
Allow me to introduce Caramelized Spiced Pear Oatmeal, my friends!
It may sound strange, but just wait for it!
Fresh pears are sautéed in a skillet with goodies like pure maple syrup and cinnamon to use as topping for your morning oatmeal.
They taste warmly-spiced, rich, and incredibly buttery.
You can’t believe it’s not butter?
I know, me neither.
If I were an entrepreneur, I would start a chain of artisan oatmeal restaurants (because that would be successful), in which this exact spiced pear oatmeal would be sold (seasonally).
Stirring it all up with some golden raisins and walnuts makes for an unforgettable culinary adventure!
Oatmeal with pears may just be my new favorite healthy breakfast!
I love meals like this to enjoy as a post-workout meal, because it contains complex carbohydrates to help refuel your muscles and aid with recovery.
Not to mention, it is so inviting! My guess is you’ll want to make a big batch each week for meal prepping breakfasts throughout the busy workweek.
Tastes just like butter!
Spiced Pear Oatmeal
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 1.5 cups flax seed milk + more for serving*
- 2 pears peeled and sliced
- ¼ cup golden raisins
- 2 tablespoons walnuts chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Bring 2 cups of water to a boil and stir in the oatmeal. Return to a boil then lower the heat to a simmer. Cook until the water has been absorbed.
- In a medium-sized skillet add the remaining ingredients and heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring every couple of minutes, until pears are softened and flax milk has evaporated, leaving a thick sauce around the pears, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Dish out desired amount of oatmeal and serve with the caramelized pears, raisins, and walnuts on top. Add maple syrup and additional flax milk/almond milk if desired.
Why ISNT there a crockpot I can immediately refridgerate? That’s the best idea I’ve ever heard. Also, one that doesnt have random hot spots and burn my oatmeal would be nice. I’m totally on board with your Artmeal business, as well, I’d be your first costumer for this pear oatmeal!
That’s what I’m saying!! Where’s the refrigerated crock?? No one can fit a whole crock (or 6 quarts worth of food) in the refrigerator, so why not bring the refrigerator to the crock?? Oh so brilliant. I’m glad you like my artmeal idea, my dear. Let’s do this! 😉
Girl, you are a rockstar! I have to say I kind of forgot you were doing not one, but two cookbooks at once. INCREDIBLE!!
It truly is such a busy time. I can’t catch my breath, but I am loving every minute of it! 🙂 LOVE this oatmeal. Perfect fall breakfast! 🙂
Same to you, my dear! Good luck this holiday season – I know you’re cooking your face off too! And of course, I can’t wait to see the fruits of your labor 🙂
You had me at cardamom. This looks delicious. I love the combinations you come up with!
1. An easy math problem. Thank you on this Monday. 2. Your brain works about like ours does. I’m not sure if that’s a compliment or not. Ha ha ha Sometimes, I have to reread it sometimes to get it in my head. 3. I want this oatmeal, only I want someone to make it for me. I’m feeling lazy today. 4. I’m famous for a tweet I just did for The Voice. I am now done with this comment, of which I’m sure you are happy about.
Forgot this in my excitement over my famous tweet. What is flax seed milk? Where would it be in the grocery store, or is this something that probably will never be in central Illinois? If I use almond milk, will it be gross when it separates?
I get my flax milk from the regular grocery store next to the almond milk. I actually made this exact recipe again this morning using almond milk and it was delicious! I just figured I’d give folks a heads up about the separation thing because some people may be weird about it…but it doesn’t change the taste or bother me one bit! Almond milk it up! 🙂
I just added to your tweet. Finger’s crossed it goes viral, lol. You crack my shit up, lady!
I may have gotten a little inappropriate/off-base with my tweet.
Ha ha! Going to check it out right now. Say, this was a hard math problem and at the end of the day. This might require a glass of wine to go with The Voice and Adam to soothe me.
I don’t even know what to do with the two of you.
Shit. In my half-embarrassment, half-laughing at the two of you, I forgot to ask if you’d come make me oatmeal every morning? I’d totally invest in Artmeal. Duh.
It’s like you put all the things that make fall wonderful in a bowl and pressed go! Love love love this. I literally just bought pears too, how do you know these things? 😉
DOOOOOD I’d totally eat at Artmeal. It’s kind of like my genius idea for a hot chocolate bar… where people can come in and get fancy versions of hot chocolate and treats with hot chocolate in them. Yeah… it’s a work in progress.
PS I’m right there with you on the “we need to bake all the things NOW” bizniz… let’s just hide under a rock together and eat this oatmeal, mmk?
Gasp! Let’s combine our two ideas into one! Fancy hot chocolate + artmeal = Shark Tank here we cooooome! I never want to see 350 degrees F again. Le sigh.
Wow, my head would be spinning if I were you! Writing two cookbooks at once is crraa to the World War Z…lol. I still have to see that movie.
This oatmeal looks scrumptious. The idea of caramelized pears is making me drool.
sounds like a delicious breakfast!
Healthy and tasty. Looks good. Thanks for sharing.
Now that’s a breakfast that would get me outta bed! Pears and oatmeal just sounds so good together. Definitely trying this oatmeal sometime this week–looks perfect for the chilly fall mornings ahead of us!
Made this today with coconut milk. Doubled the recipe so it taking forever to reduce! Smells delicious.
So happy to hear you made this oatmeal, Andrew! The caramelized pears are everything. Hope you enjoy! xo
This was the best oatmeal I could’ve imagined. All the right stuff…and living alone; I saved the pear mixture in a separate jar from the oatmeal to have another day. Adding the nuts and maple syrup when ready to eat.
Thank you!
I’m so happy you enjoy it, Susan! This has been one of my favorite oatmeal recipes too! xoxoxo
