Ingredients

3 Bosc Pears

1/2 cup rolled oats

240ml (1 cup) water or any milk

Direction

Cook oats in a pot (1 part oats to 1 part water), in a separate pot boil water and add orange juice, maple syrup, and cinnamon (you can add more spices if you’d like). In the meantime peel the pears. Once the liquid comes to a boil, add the pears and simmer for 15 minutes. In a blender add the oats, pear, coconut oil, a splash of almond milk and blend. The amount of each depends on the level of sweetness you prefer. Add almond milk slowly and check consistency after blending. My toddler likes hers a little runnier than my baby so i adjust to their preference accordingly. Pour porridge into a bowl and add half a poached pear. Sprinkle some cinnamon powder and serve.
