Ingredients

Scale

Oatmeal Base

  • 2 cups gluten-free rolled oats
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups milk
  • Pinch of salt

Flavorings and Toppings

  • 1 pear, diced
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup, plus more for serving
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Bring Liquid to Simmer: Combine the water and milk in a pot and heat over medium until it begins to simmer gently.
  2. Add Oats and Salt: Stir in the gluten-free rolled oats along with a big pinch of salt to the simmering liquid.
  3. Cook Oatmeal: Continue cooking the mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 7 to 10 minutes or until the oats become creamy and have absorbed most of the liquid.
  4. Add Pear and Flavorings: Stir in the diced pear, chopped walnuts, maple syrup, and cinnamon, blending all ingredients evenly.
  5. Let Pear Warm: Remove the pot from heat, cover it loosely, and allow it to sit for 1 minute so the diced pear softens and warms through.
  6. Serve: Spoon the oatmeal into bowls and drizzle with extra maple syrup if desired before serving.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free rolled oats to keep this recipe suitable for gluten intolerance.
  • For vegan version, substitute the milk with any plant-based milk like almond, soy, or oat milk.
  • Feel free to swap walnuts for pecans or almonds depending on preference.
  • The recipe can be doubled easily for larger groups.
  • To make it lower in sugar, reduce the maple syrup and use more fresh pear for natural sweetness.
