Pear Oatmeal

Spiced pear oatmeal full of rolled oats, cooked pears, cinnamon, brown sugar, and butter is a weekday breakfast delight.

📝 Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 3 1/2 cups water
• 1/2 cup pecans or walnuts (chopped, plus more for topping if desired)
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• dash of nutmeg
• 3 medium size ripe pears (about 2 cups worth, peeled and diced small)
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar (adjust to taste)
• butter (a teaspoon or so for on top of each serving)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Combine 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.
2. 2As 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.
3. 3Scoop into serving bowls and top with butter and brown sugar, keeping in mind that the sweeter the pears, the less sugar you may need.
