Step 1

Prep the Pear: Grate the pear directly into your jar or bowl (this allows the juice to sweeten the oats). If you prefer chunks, chop it finely.

Step 2

Combine Ingredients: In a jar or airtight container, add the oats, chia seeds, pear, milk, Greek yogurt, cinnamon, and sweetener (if using).

Step 3

Mix Well: Stir everything together until well combined.

Step 4

Chill: Cover and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight.

Step 5

Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If they are too thick, add a small splash of milk. Top with a generous amount of chopped pistachios, extra pear slices, and a drizzle of honey if desired.

Step 6

Texture: For a creamier texture, mix in 1 tbsp of pistachio butter or smooth almond butter. Winter Variation: Gently fry the chopped pear in a little butter and cinnamon to make a "crumble-style" topping. Vegan Option: Use plant-based yogurt (e.g., coconut or soy) and soy/almond milk. Boosters: Add 1 tbsp of flaxseeds or a scoop of protein powder for extra nutrition.
