Step 1

Slice and chop pears. Wash, peel, core and chop the pears into 1cm (½-inch) size cubes. Add them to the bowl along with the lemon juice and toss them together so that the pears are coated.

Step 2

Add all ingredients to a saucepan. Add the chopped pears, water (only 60ml to start with), maple syrup, 1/2 tsp ground ginger and 1/2 tsp turmeric to a saucepan set over medium heat on the stovetop.

Step 3

Simmer for approximately 20 minutes. Bring pears to a simmer and cook for approximately 20 minutes until the pears are tender. Note: If your pears are very ripe and juicy you may need less time. If your pears are unripe then you may need more time. Add more water if the mixture looks like it is drying out.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, bring the milk to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the oats. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Remove from heat, cover and let stand for 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Pour your porridge into a bowl. Add the toppings and let rest for a few minutes to cool. Top with a bit of maple syrup, if desired. Serve warm.
