A wholesome and nutrient-rich breakfast featuring nutty steel cut oats cooked with chia and flax seeds, topped with sweet maple roasted pears and vibrant pomegranate arils for a burst of freshness and texture.

Ingredients

Oats Base

  • 1/2 cup steel cut oats
  • 1 cup filtered water
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, plus more for garnish
  • 1/8 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon ground flax seed

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup pomegranate arils
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
  • Maple roasted pears (see instructions below)
  • Maple syrup, optional

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Maple Roasted Pears: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Core and slice pears, then toss them with maple syrup. Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and caramelized. Set aside.
  2. Cook the Steel Cut Oats: In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup filtered water to a boil. Add steel cut oats and Himalayan pink salt. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes until oats are tender but chewy.
  3. Add Seeds and Almond Milk: Stir in chia seeds, ground flax seed, and 1/2 cup almond milk. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the mixture thickens to desired consistency, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Serve the Oats: Spoon the cooked oats into bowls. Top each serving with maple roasted pears, pomegranate arils, and pumpkin seeds. Drizzle with extra almond milk and maple syrup if desired.
  5. Garnish and Enjoy: Add a splash of almond milk for creaminess and a touch of maple syrup for extra sweetness if preferred. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Steel cut oats take longer to cook than rolled oats but provide a chewier texture and nuttier flavor.
  • You can prepare the maple roasted pears in advance and store them refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • For a vegan version, ensure the maple syrup is pure and unprocessed.
  • Adjust sweetness with maple syrup or fresh fruit according to taste.
  • To speed up oat cooking, soak steel cut oats overnight in almond milk or water.
