1/4 cup seeds ((e.g. flaxseeds, pepitas, chia seeds))
Instructions
Preheat oven to 180ºC. In a bowl, whisk together honey and coconut oil. In a baking tray, place sliced pears and coat with honey and oil mixture. Roast for 20-25 minutes, basting with the juices a few times, until the fruit is golden and soft. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
To prepare the oats, combine oats, milk, water and vanilla extract in a bowl or saucepan, depending on whether you prefer to cook your oats in the microwave or on the stove. If you are using rolled oats, the stovetop method may be more effective, and you will need more liquid.
Cook oats on the stove, or microwave instant oats for approximately two minutes, until soft. Add more liquid if you prefer a thinner consistency. Once cooked to your liking, stir through cinnamon, and divide between two serving bowls.
Top oats with roasted pears, and sprinkle with almonds and seeds. Pour any remaining juices from the baking tray over the top and serve.
Notes
Swap the low fat milk for your choice of liquid. Nut or rice milks would work just as well, or even water, if you prefer.
The honey-roasted fruit adds a sweet component to this dish, however if you prefer your oats sweeter, add in a sweetener (e.g. Stevia, Natvia etc.) to the oats before cooking.
Other fruits that work great in this dish include apples, plums, peaches and nectarines.
