Warm Almond and Pear Breakfast Bowl

1.In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and water. Cover and let soak overnight in the refrigerator to enhance digestibility.

2.The next morning, drain and rinse the soaked oats. Place them in a small saucepan with the almond milk and a pinch of salt.

3.Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the oats are creamy and tender.

4.While the oats are cooking, peel, core, and dice the pear. Add the diced pear to the saucepan with the oats and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the pear is just softened.

5.Stir in the ground cinnamon and chia seeds (if using). Remove from heat.

6.Spoon the warm oat and pear mixture into a serving bowl. Top with sliced almonds and drizzle with honey if desired.

7.Serve immediately, garnished with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon or a few additional almond slices for presentation.
