Start your morning with this warm, spiced Pear Gingerbread Steel Cut Oats recipe. It brings together the sweetness of ripe pears and the comforting flavor of gingerbread spices for a perfect breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup steel cut oats
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 ripe pear, diced
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: chopped pecans, extra pear slices, maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Combine steel cut oats, water, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, allspice, and salt in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Stir in the diced pear during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  5. Continue cooking until the oats reach your desired consistency. The oats will thicken as they cool.
  6. Serve hot immediately. Top with your favorite additions like pecans or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes

  • You can prepare this recipe with just water for a dairy-free option, but milk adds creaminess.
  • For a quicker breakfast, cook the oats fully the night before, cool, and store in the refrigerator. Reheat with a splash of milk in the morning.
  • Adjust the spice quantities to your personal taste. Sasha likes extra ginger!
  • Use firm pears so they hold their shape during cooking.
