– 1/4 cup walnuts
– 1 tbsp maple syrup
– 1/2 tsp cinnamon
– 1/4 tsp nutmeg
– Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Combine 1 cup rolled oats, 2 cups water, and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan.
2. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
3. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring every minute to prevent sticking.
4. While oats cook, core and dice 1 ripe pear into 1/2-inch pieces.
5. Roughly chop 1/4 cup walnuts into small pieces.
6. Add diced pear, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp nutmeg to the oatmeal.
7. Continue cooking for 3 more minutes, until pears are slightly softened but still hold their shape.
8. Remove saucepan from heat and stir in 1 tbsp maple syrup.
9. Divide the oatmeal between two bowls.
10. Top each bowl with chopped walnuts.

Mornings just got better with this comforting bowl. The creamy oats contrast beautifully with the tender pear chunks and crunchy walnuts. Try drizzling with extra maple syrup or serving with a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.
