Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup steel-cut Irish oats
- 4 cups water
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 whole ripe pears
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons slivered almonds
- 0.25 cup milk or cream (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the steel-cut Irish oats and salt, then reduce the heat to low.
Simmer the oats uncovered for about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and the mixture is creamy.
While the oatmeal is cooking, prepare the pears. Slice the pears in half, remove the cores, and cut them into thin slices.
In a medium skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the sliced pears and sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
Cook the pears for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and lightly caramelized.
When the oatmeal is finished, divide it evenly between two bowls. Top with the caramelized pears.
Drizzle each bowl with 1.5 tablespoons of pure maple syrup and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of slivered almonds.
If desired, pour a splash of milk or cream over the oatmeal for extra creaminess.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty Irish oatmeal with pears and maple!
