Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 large pear
- 0.33 cup walnuts
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- 2 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, yogurt, honey or maple syrup, chia seeds (if using), and ground cinnamon. Stir well to combine.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.
Just before serving, wash the pear and cut it into thin slices or small cubes. Drizzle the pear slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are lightly golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Divide the chilled muesli mixture between two serving bowls.
Top each bowl with the fresh pear slices, toasted walnuts, and a drizzle of additional honey or maple syrup if desired.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a hint of freshness and a pop of color, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious, delicious muesli with pears and walnuts.
