Pear Walnut Overnight Oatmeal

Teresa Ambra
Pear Walnut Overnight Oatmeal is fantastic. It's made with pears, walnuts, raisins and bananas along with cinnamon and nutmeg to give it some splash! This healthy breakfast entree is easily reheated in the microwave. It's also vegan, gluten free, sugar free and dairy free. If you're looking for a stick-to-the-ribs breakfast for your family or company, this is it!

Equipment

  • 1 large crockpot
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 sharp knife to dice pears
  • 1 nut chopper if nuts are not previously chopped

Ingredients
  

  • 24 oz. pkg. steel-cut oats (I used Bob's Red Mill known as pin head oats or Irish oats
  • 48 oz. container Califia Farms oat milk or almond milk
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 tbsp. cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 tbsp. vanilla extract (3 teaspoons)
  • 3 large bartlett pears washed, cored and diced, (unpeeled) about 4 cups pears
  • 2 oz. sun-dried raisins
  • 3 large bananas sliced
  • 1 cup walnuts chopped (measure after chopping)
  • 1 pear sliced or diced, for garnish, if desired
  • 1/2 cup walnuts chopped (measure after chopping) for garnish, if desired
  • 1 tbsp. cinnamon for garnish, if desired
  • brown sugar or maple syrup to serve, if desired

Instructions
 

  • Spray a large 6 or 7-quart crockpot very generously with cooking spray.
  • Combine first eleven ingredients and spread into crock pot.
  • Cook on low overnight for approximately 5 hours.
  • Serve garnished with fresh pear slices, walnut pieces and a dash of cinnamon, if desired.

Notes

NOTE: You can portion out the servings into microwavable glass or plastic containers. Refrigerate for up to one week and microwave before serving.
 
NOTE: You can also freeze the cooked oatmeal in the same type of containers. Remove from freezer and allow to defrost in refrigerator a day or so before using and microwaving as noted above.
 
NOTE:  You can sprinkle the tops of each serving with brown sugar or pour maple syrup over top if desired. But you may find the recipe is sweet enough without additional sugar. If you wish to cook the oatmeal with brown sugar, add 3/4 cup while mixing ingredients.
 
NOTE: Overnight oatmeal is something of a misnomer. This recipe was done in about 5 hours in my slowest crockpot.
 
NOTE: The key to this recipe is not overcooking the oatmeal so it sticks onto the sides of the crockpot. Five hours is really all you need.
 
NOTE: This recipe is easiest if you have a slow cooker with a programmable timer. Set the end time for when you want to serve breakfast.
 
NOTE: You can also use Stevia extract or Mont Fruit sugar if you want to keep the recipe sugarless or have less calories.
