Roasted Pear Porridge Recipe

Pears are an autumn staple. Pair them with a bowl of warm, spiced oatmeal and you’ve got the ultimate breakfast for the season. With a drizzle of honey, a dash of cinnamon and a sprinkle of hazelnuts, this Roasted Pear Porridge recipe was specially made for chilly fall mornings.

Everyone roasts vegetables like Brussels sprouts, carrots and potatoes. While we love a roasted veggie side dish, fresh fruit can also benefit from some extra time in the oven. Pears are our fruit of choice in this delicious dish because they remind us of fall and go perfectly with cinnamon. However, you can also try this recipe with another fruit like apples, pumpkin or bananas!

The first step to this meal is preparing your pear. Slice a pear in half and core out the seeds. Place the pear halves face up in a baking dish and drizzle them with honey, coconut oil and cinnamon. Bake them in the oven at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.

While the pear is roasting, it’s time to whip up your porridge! Place dry, rolled oats in a small pot with unsweetened almond milk, water, vanilla extract and cinnamon. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer. Continue cooking for about 10 minutes or until it reaches your desired consistency (Be sure to stir it occasionally!). Once your porridge is finished, divide it equally between two bowls. Top each bowl with half of a roasted pear and chopped hazelnuts.
