Do you like pears? I do but they always get sort of overshadowed by apples and to be honest very often I kind of forget about them. Even for this recipe I initially wanted to make an apple baked oatmeal but than I saw these beautiful pears on farmers market and I said to myself, ‘you’ll leave those apples for the moment and this time focus on pears!’ I do that sometimes, have these little arguments with myself, please say you do the same and I’m not this crazy person talking to myself haha! 😀
I’m so inspired by all things Autumn and I think you can tell from my few last posts here on the blog and specially if you follow me on Instagram (here)! Of course Summer was great with all its berries, sunshine and ice creams but there is something magical and so cozy in this darker moody light, all the beautiful red, yellow and burgundy colours that nature is showing us, those rainy afternoons and of course all the gorgeous produce.
I’ve always loved Zagreb in Autumn, even all those years ago when I lived here as a student. The city becomes alive, there is so much going on, specially if you are a foodie like myself! 🙂 There are food festivals, vintage and music festivals, fashion events, roasted chestnuts and corn on cobs on every corner in the city centre and that smell fills the air and makes you feel all happy and warm inside. One of the things I like to do this time of the year is walking on the slightly wet ground covered with colourful leaves and wild chestnuts (it seems that correct name for those are Horse chestnuts, whatever their name is they are basically beautiful but inedible) and listening to that sound of leaves crackling under my feet… The little things that bring smile to our face and warmth in our heart! <3
This Pear & cinnamon baked oatmeal is so delicious and great for breakfast but of course you can also make it for that little afternoon treat when you still want to have something sweet but not heavy and unhealthy. I suggest making this for breakfast on a weekend when you can put it in the oven, be a little bit patient until it’s ready and than have a lovely warm baked oatmeal for a relaxing late breakfast. Good thing is that it can stay in the fridge for 2-3 days and it stays delicious and you can warm it up or eat at room temperature. I made it mildly sweet because I wanted to taste those sweet pears and cinnamon but then I sprinkled it with some more coconut sugar before serving. You can make it as sweet as you like and sprinkle that sugar until it’s right for you! 😀
