Caramelized Pear Porridge
Starting off my mornings with a warm and delicious bowl of oats is definitely my number one way to nurture my body with balance and nourishing ingredients. This meal is filled with fibre to support your gut microbiome and leave you feeling satisfied and full for a few hours to come.
Oats are such a convenient and versatile ingredient - they work perfectly when combined with sweet or savory ingredients. For this recipe I chose to caramelize in-season pears and top this hearty bowl of porridge with peanut butter and mixed seeds!

1 medium pear
1tbsp coconut oil
1tbsp brown sugar
boiling water

Set aside and cook your porridge to your preferred consistency
Place in a nice bowl and take to the next level by adding your favorite toppings!
