There’s nothing like a comforting bowl of oatmeal in the morning. Preparing Instant Pot Pear Oatmeal is a breeze; mix ingredients, set, and get ready to enjoy!

Pear Oatmeal with Cinnamon

Oatmeal is full of fiber, protein, and whole grains, which helps it fill you up and fuel you all day. For this recipe, we use pears, cinnamon, ginger, and vanilla. However, you can easily swap out whatever fruit and spices you have on hand, too!

Nutrition Tip: Whether you buy old-fashioned, quick, or steel-cut, oats are a healthy whole grain. Oats contain two different kinds of fiber, one that keeps the digestive system humming and one that helps naturally lower cholesterol.

Oatmeal: A Great Choice and Complete Meal

The sweet, tender pears combined with the warm spices create a delightful breakfast that’s perfect for chilly mornings. This oatmeal is not only delicious but also packed with fiber and nutrients to keep you energized throughout the day.

This Instant Pot Spiced Pear Oatmeal takes approximately 3 minutes of cooking time, plus about 5-8 minutes for the pot to come to pressure, followed by a 5-minute natural release. For this recipe, it’s best to use old-fashioned oats. You can absolutely use fresh pears instead of canned; one large green Anjou pear, peeled and diced, is ideal. While our recipe uses almond milk, which some consider not fully vegan due to its effects on bees, you can easily substitute with another plant-based milk to make it vegan-friendly. This recipe yields about 4 servings.

How To Make Stove Top Oatmeal

If you don’t have an Instant Pot, don’t worry! You can easily make this pear oatmeal on the stovetop. Simply combine the almond milk, water, oats, cinnamon, ginger, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add the diced pear and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the oats are cooked and the pears are tender. Stir in the vanilla extract and serve warm.

Enjoy your warm, spiced pear oatmeal! It’s the perfect way to start a cozy morning.
