Description

Creamy old-fashioned rolled oats served with a rich, homemade spiced pear caramel swirl. This hearty breakfast offers warm flavors and a gourmet feel for a cozy weekend treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium (300g) Bosc or Anjou pears, peeled, cored, diced
  • 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) water
  • 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (100g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3 cups (720ml) whole milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.5g) fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. Make the Spiced Pear Caramel: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine diced pears, brown sugar, water, butter, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Stir occasionally until sugar dissolves and pears soften (about 8-10 minutes). Continue cooking for a total of 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens into a caramel sauce consistency.
  2. Add Vanilla and Prepare Oats: Remove the caramel from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. In a separate saucepan, combine the old-fashioned rolled oats, whole milk, and sea salt.
  3. Cook the Oatmeal: Bring the oatmeal mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low. Simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and creamy. Add extra milk or water as needed to reach the desired consistency.
  4. Assemble and Serve: Divide the cooked oatmeal into two bowls. Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of warm Spiced Pear Caramel into each bowl and gently swirl it through the oatmeal.
  5. Garnish: Drizzle additional caramel over the top of each serving and dust with extra ground cinnamon for presentation.

Notes

To achieve the best creamy texture, use whole milk and old-fashioned rolled oats. Avoid quick oats, which become mushy, or steel-cut oats, which require a different cooking process. The pear caramel can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
