Steel Cut Oats with Pears

Serves 4

• 1 cup steel cut oats

• dash salt

• 2 cups water

• 2 cups almond milk, unsweetened

• 2 medium pears, sliced

• 4 tsp maple syrup

• 4 dashes cinnamon

• 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

Toast oats by placing them in a large saucepan over medium-high heat for 2-4 minutes. Make sure to stir them frequently to prevent burning.

Add salt, water, and almond milk to the saucepan of toasted oats.

Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20-30 minutes, or until desired tenderness is reached.

Divide into four bowls and top with pears, walnuts, maple syrup, and cinnamon.

Tip: If you want to roast your pears first, place them in a baking dish at 375F for about 10 minutes while you’re cooking the oats.
