Quick and delicious oats with caramelised pears

I have to admit this quick and delicious oats with caramelised pears recipe wasn't planned to be on the blog. Because everyone knows how to cook oats, right? I cooked this quick oatmeal dish for lunch this week. Why? Because I was short of time, didn't have much in the fridge, and felt like I need something warm and comforting. So, I cooked oats. I added some pears, spices, and cashew nuts to spice things up. To my big surprise it turned out to be simply amazing and it was clear that I have to share this recipe with you guys. It is so, so good!

I will keep this post very short because I have already written about the health benefits of oats in my previous posts. Look at AMAZING ALMOND AND ORANGE OVERNIGHT OATS IN JUST 5 MINUTES or ABSOLUTELY AMAZING NO-BAKE COOKIE BITES THAT ARE GLUTEN-FREE AND GUILT-FREE to learn more if you are interested.

• taste like dessert, but is absolutely guilt-free, as it is gluten-free of course
• comforting
• nourishing

And here is the step by step on how to make these quick and delicious oats with caramelised pears

Ingredients

  

• 1 cup of gluten-free oatmeal
• 1 cup of your favourite milk. I used a mix of coconut and almond milk from Nutty Bruce
• 1 cup of water
• ½ pear diced in little cubes
• ½ pear thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
• a pinch of nutmeg

• ½ teaspoon raw honey
• pinch of salt

Instructions

 

• In a medium-sized saucepan, combine oatmeal, milk, water, diced pears, maple syrup, salt, and spices and bring to simmer.
• 
• Simmer for 3-4 minutes until oats are nice and creamy.
• Meanwhile, heat the coconut oil or butter in a small frying pan. Add ½ spoon of honey and add the sliced pears to the pan. Fry the pears for a couple of minutes until the pears have caramelised and look golden. Take them out and place them on a plate.
• 
• Put your oats in a bowl, add pears and nuts and enjoy!

Notes

If your oats start to thicken too much while you cook them, simply add a splash of water or milk.
