Pear Overnight Oats
Description
This recipe mixes rolled oats with milk, vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt, optional vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and sea salt. The diced ripe pears are gently folded in before placing the mixture in the refrigerator to soak for at least two hours or overnight. This resting period allows the oats to absorb liquid and soften, while chia seeds help thicken the texture, creating a creamy and hearty consistency.
The cinnamon and vanilla provide warm, sweet spice notes that complement the fresh pear's mild sweetness and juiciness. The oats can be eaten chilled as is or thinned with additional milk for a smoother consistency. Topping with more diced fresh pear or a drizzle of nut butter enhances texture and flavor.
These overnight oats serve as a convenient grab-and-go breakfast that balances carbohydrates, protein, and fruit. The gentle sweetness and creamy texture appeal to a variety of tastes and can be prepared ahead for busy mornings.
