Instructions
Overnight oats with pear and cinnamon
Day 1
- Combine the oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, vanilla sugar, salt, honey, yogurt and milk in a bowl and stir well. Cover with a lid and chill in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours – but ideally overnight.
Day 2
- Stir half of the pear cubes into the overnight oats and divide the porridge between 2 glasses.You can of course also leave the oats in the bowl and help yourself as you go – in that case I would recommend not stirring in the pears until just before serving.
- Top the oats with extra pear cubes, chopped almonds and honey.In the photo I have also decorated with pear slices – do as you prefer.
Worth knowing about overnight oats
- Overnight oats keep for 4-5 days in the fridge – provided all the ingredients are fresh. Hold off stirring in any fruit until just before serving.Personally I think they are best within the first 2 days – and since they are so easy to make, I never make more than 2 days' worth at a time.
- I recommend using jumbo rolled oats – they give the porridge a really good consistency and texture. To my taste, regular porridge oats can turn a little too mushy – but that is of course a matter of personal preference.
