Ingredients
1/2 tablespoon butter
1 pear, peeled and diced
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1 cup gluten-free quick-cooking oatmeal
1 and 1/3 cups water
Directions
Peel the pear and cut it into small, bite-sized pieces. Heat the butter in a small skillet over medium heat until melted. Add the diced pear pieces to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to coat with the butter.
Sprinkle the cinnamon and nutmeg over the pears, then pour in the maple syrup. Continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring gently, until the pears become soft and tender and the mixture has thickened slightly.
While the pears are cooking, combine the gluten-free oatmeal and water in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds, depending on your preferred consistency—60 seconds for a thinner oatmeal or 90 seconds for a thicker texture.
Divide the cooked oatmeal between two serving bowls. Top each portion with the warm maple-glazed pears and any syrup from the skillet. Serve immediately while warm.
Comments
Every ingredient is stocked at every Charlotte grocer, and the cost per serving lands around $1.50 to $2, driven mainly by the pear and maple syrup—both entirely reasonable. The stated 15 minutes is honest for cooking time, though chopping the pear adds roughly 3 minutes you should account for on a weeknight. This is a quick, low-fuss breakfast that reheats decently in the microwave and works well for two people, and it feels at home in the Carolinas where pears are available year-round and local tastes favor warm spiced breakfasts.
