Ingredients
- 2 small California pears
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup water
- 2 tbsp maple syrup and more for serving
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- hemp hearts and pumpkin seeds for serving
Instructions
- Dice pears into small cubes
- In a medium pot, add a splash of olive oil or coconut oil and add the pears
- Add cinnamon and salt, cook the pears for 5 minutes until soft and then add maple syrup
- Cook for another 3 minutes stirring
- Remove half of the pears to save for the topping
- Add oats, chia seeds, milk and water
- Stir and let it come to a boil, then turn down the heat and cook until it thickens, stirring often
- Remove from heat (it will continue to thicken so make sure it's still a little runny when you take it off the heat)
- Divide into bowls & garnish with remaining pears, pumpkin seeds and hemp hearts for extra protein
Notes
If you're not sure your little one will go for the pieces of pears, I recommend skipping the caramelizing part and just shredding the pears and adding them right in with the oats, chia seeds, water and milk.
