Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup Old-Fashioned Oats
  • ½ cup Milk or Almond Milk Use almond milk for a dairy-free version
  • ½ cup Diced Pears Can be used fresh or roasted for extra sweetness
  • 1 Tbsp Chia Seeds
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1–2 tsp Maple Syrup Optional, adjust for sweetness
  • a pinch Fine Sea Salt Optional, just a tiny pinch enhances the flavors

Equipment

  • Jar or container with lid
  • Spoon
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

  1. In a jar or container with a lid, add ½ cup of old-fashioned oats, ½ cup of milk or almond milk, and ½ cup of diced pears (either fresh or roasted).
  2. Stir in 1 Tbsp chia seeds, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. If you prefer a sweeter taste, add 1–2 tsp of maple syrup and a pinch of fine sea salt.
  3. Mix the ingredients well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and not clumping together.
  4. Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and achieve a pudding-like consistency.
  5. When ready to enjoy, give the oats a quick stir to recombine any separated liquid. Optionally, top with toasted walnuts or pecans and an extra drizzle of maple syrup, or even add a topping of caramelized pears for a decadent twist.

Notes

This recipe is perfect for busy mornings and meal prep—simply prepare a batch the night before and enjoy a healthy, customizable breakfast. For a dairy-free option, use almond milk, and feel free to experiment with toppings such as toasted nuts or a spoonful of almond butter. The optional caramelized pears add a rich, sweet dimension that elevates the dish even further. Leftover oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
