Almond Oat Porridge with Caramelized Pears

Method

1. 1

   In a small saucepan, combine the oats, almond milk and water. Bring to a boil, then cook over low heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring often, until the porridge is creamy.

2. 2

   Wash the pear and cut it into thin slices (skin on). Toast the almonds in a small nonstick pan for 2-3 minutes, then roughly chop them.

3. 3

   In the same pan, warm 1 teaspoon of maple syrup and lay in the pear slices. Cook for 2 minutes per side, dusting with a pinch of cinnamon, until caramelized and soft.

4. 4

   Divide the porridge between two bowls. Add the caramelized pears, chopped almonds and chia seeds.

5. 5

   Finish with the remaining maple syrup and an extra dusting of cinnamon, to taste.
