Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 1/2 cups milk (or plant-based milk)
• 2 ripe pears, sliced
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well and divide the mixture into two jars or bowls.
2. In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced pears, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the pears are soft and caramelized.
3. Once the pears are ready, let them cool slightly before adding them on top of the oats in the jars.
4. Sprinkle chopped walnuts over the caramelized pears and oats. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
5. In the morning, enjoy your overnight oats cold, or warm them up in the microwave for a comforting breakfast.

Notes

Storage: Keep overnight oats in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to enjoy them fresh. You can also add fresh fruit or yogurt on top before serving.

For best results, let the oats sit overnight to allow them to absorb the flavors. If you want a creamier texture, feel free to stir in an extra splash of milk in the morning.

Consider substituting walnuts with pecans or almonds for a different nutty flavor. If you’re looking to reduce sugar, use less maple syrup or substitute with a sugar-free alternative.

These oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply microwave briefly or enjoy cold for a refreshing breakfast option.
