Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 cups Gluten Free Rolled Oats Feel free to use steel-cut oats for added chewiness.
  • 2 cups Water Essential for cooking the oats to the right consistency.
  • 2 cups Non-dairy Milk Choose almond or coconut milk for a vegan option.
  • 1 pinch Salt Enhances flavors and balances sweetness.
For the Flavor
  • 1 medium Pear (diced) Substitute with apples or ripe peaches if needed.
  • 0.5 cups Chopped Walnuts Pecans or sunflower seeds can serve as nut-free alternatives.
  • 0.25 cups Maple Syrup Consider honey or agave syrup for a different twist.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Swap out for nutmeg or pumpkin spice if desired.

Equipment

  • Medium-sized pot

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium-sized pot, combine 2 cups of water and 2 cups of your favorite non-dairy milk. Heat over medium-high until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Once your liquid is simmering, add 2 cups of gluten-free rolled oats and a pinch of salt to the pot. Stir well and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring frequently until creamy.
  3. Fold in 1 diced pear, 0.5 cup of chopped walnuts, 0.25 cup of maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Stir gently for about 2 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and cover the pot with a lid. Let the oatmeal sit for 1 minute to allow the flavors to deepen.
  5. Spoon the oatmeal into bowls and consider adding extra chopped walnuts and a drizzle of maple syrup before serving.
