Ingredients
for oatmeal
- 1 cup rolled oats instant or old fashioned
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup milk use non dairy milk if you like
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- 1 pear chopped (make sure your pear is fairly ripe, the pieces will cook a little bit with the oats, but not that much)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
for serving:
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- Extra milk
- honey or brown sugar
Instructions
- Combine oats, water, milk, spices, vanilla, chopped pears, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to low and simmer for a few minutes until thickened and the oats are cooked through.
- Serve with extra milk, chopped walnuts, and honey or brown sugar for sweetness.

Notes
- Make it sweeter: this recipe does not have any sugar in the oatmeal itself—I prefer to add mine during serving in the form of some honey or brown sugar sprinkled on top. If you prefer, however, you can add a bit of sugar or honey to the oatmeal while it cooks.
- Make it dairy free: use any non dairy milk you like, nut milks and soy will work well, even coconut milk.
- Use pecans in place of the walnuts, or omit the nuts altogether!
