It’s no secret that breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. Normally, I wake up, open my fridge, and just stare at it, contemplating what I should make. Eggs? Hash browns? Avo toast? Toast w/peanut butter? A yogurt parfait? Pancakes? Waffles? There’s just way too much to choose from!
HOWEVER. There is an exception around this time of year, because I literally know exactly what I want to eat: single serving honey pear oats. Here’s how it goes: the night before, I make a quick batch of steel cut oats. I also prep my pears by slicing them in half, coring them (I! love! fall! fruits!) and storing them in an airtight container. The next morning, I season my pears and throw them into the toaster oven, I add milk to my oats, and microwave that for about 30 seconds. Finally, I’ll add my roasted pears to the oats, and top them with a whole bunch of fun treats.
Now, I’ve made apple baked oats before and they’re so so delicious, but there’s something about a nice, classic bowl of oats on a chilly fall morning that I love. These single serving honey pear oats = an easy weekday breakfast made a whole lot better.
Watch how to make my single serving oats here!
Look at how beautifully golden-brown those pears are! If you aren’t extra like me, you can skip roasting them and eat them as they are, but I think going the extra step really makes a difference. They’re soft, sweet, and honestly everything I love about this time of year.
Oh, and I used pumpkin spice
- 1½ cup water
- ¼ cup steel cut oats
- 2 tbsp almond milk (optional)
- 1 pear (Barlette, Forelle, etc.)
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp honey
- Granola
- Peanut butter
- Chia seeds
- Pumpkin seeds
- Preheat oven (I recommend a toaster oven) to 375ºF.
- In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add oats, bring to a simmer, and cook for 25-30, or until the oats have soaked up all the water. During the last 5-10 minutes of cooking, make sure to stir very frequently, because for some reason oats always love sticking to the bottom of the pan during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Half and core the pear. Drizzle both halves with honey, and season with cinnamon. Roast in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the fruit is soft. Let cool, then cut into bite sized pieces.
- Add oats to a bowl. Loosen with the 2 tbsp of almond milk, stirring to combine. Top with pears and additional toppings of choice (including but not limited to: granola, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc.)
