Spiced Oatmeal With Pear - Spice up your ordinary porridge by adding a few delicious ingredients like fresh pear, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Mix in fresh juicy pear pieces into your oats and top up with your favorite items to start the day with a really beautiful and healthy breakfast that is vegan too!
Add the milk to a medium pot and bring to a simmer. Add in the oats and a teaspoon of salt and cinnamon. Cook, stirring occasionally for the porridge not to stick to the bottom of the pot. Stir until the oats are creamy and have absorbed the liquid, about 5-8 minutes. Add a little more liquid (water or milk) if needed.
Add in fresh chopped pear, maple syrup (or leave it for drizzle on top), and coconut milk.
Remove from the heat and cover for 2 minutes to let the pear soften and warm through.
Transfer to your favorite serving bowls and decorate with hazelnuts, pear slices, and sprinkle with cinnamon, or with any of your favorite toppings.
NOTES
