    ⭐ Why this recipe is so good

    Sweetness and spice. The combination of fresh pear and ginger is always so good, and so full of flavour. Perfect as a fall breakfast!

    Quick and easy to prepare. It really is a case of just combining all the ingredients and giving them a good stir.

    Add your own toppings. Although you don't have to include them, toppings are always fun and this recipe can be topped with fruit, nuts, seeds or desiccated coconut. Ideas below!

    🍐 Ingredients

    individually labelled ingredients to make pear overnight oats including oats, ginger, pears and maple syrup.

    All the ingredients and their quantities are set out in the recipe card below.

    Some notes on a few of them:

    • Pears - I use conference pears, but other types of pears with a good sweetness such as Bosc or Bartlett pears would also work so well.
    • Oats - I suggest using rolled oats (also known as old fashioned oats) rather than the very fine quick-cook oats.
    • Ginger - using fresh ginger root that you grate gives the best flavour. Remember to scrape off the hard skin first!

    🍯 Suggested toppings

    Toppings are always the fun part of overnight oats or oatmeal, and there are many to choose from:

    Nuts and seeds - these always give a good crunch, so perhaps you may like to try pumpkin seeds, flaked almonds, chopped Brazil nuts or a sprinkle of milled flaxseed.

    Granola - why not add a few spoonfuls of my turmeric spice granola for some crunch!

    Dried fruit - a small handful of goji berries or chopped dates gives a nice sweetness.

    📖 Swaps and variations

    Swap fresh ginger root for ground ginger powder. While I do think fresh ginger gives a better flavour, you can always add a sprinkle of ground ginger in a pinch.

    Swap maple syrup for agave syrup. Both give a lovely sweetness.

    🔪 Step by step instructions

    Just a couple of steps to make these pear overnight oats:

    diced pear and grated ginger on a wooden chopping board labelled number one.
    oats, pear, milk and chia seeds in a glass bowl with a spoon in it labelled number two.

    Step 1

    Prepare the pear and ginger. Dice the pear into small cubes and grate the ginger (image 1).

    Steps 2 & 3

    Combine the ingredients. Add all the ingredients to a bowl or tupperware and stir well to combine (images 2 & 3).

    Step 4

    Stir again. If you can, stir the oats again after an hour to help the oats and chia seeds evenly soak up the non-dairy milk (image 4).

    💭 Recipe tips and notes

    • Stir, stir, stir! When combining the ingredients, make sure to stir well so the oats and chia seeds can soak up the milk.
    • Giving the mixture a stir after about an hour can help it thicken evenly. You can also add more milk at this point if you like a looser consistency.
    • Love really thick overnight oatmeal? Use ¾ cup of non-dairy milk rather than a full cup.
    • Adjust the amount of ginger to taste. If you like a really spicy zingy flavour, add a touch more!

    📋 Frequently asked questions

    Which type of pear works well for pear overnight oats?

    Any pears with a nice sweetness will work well, including conference pears, Bosc and Bartlett pears.

    Can I use steel cut oats for overnight oats?

    It is possible to use steel cut oats, but as they are much more dense than rolled oats they will need to be soaked overnight. They are likely to still be quite dense and chewy.

    How long should I soak my pear overnight oats for?

    Overnight oats can be soaked for just two hours, or overnight as the name suggests.

    Notes

    Hi, I’m Claire. After a diagnosis of MCAS I began to follow a low histamine diet, which has helped me manage my symptoms. Here I hope to show that a restrictive diet can still be full of flavourful meals, and help you enjoy being creative in the kitchen.
