Life’s a bit of a whirlwind, isn't it? Between juggling work, family, and trying to squeeze in some semblance of a social life, mornings can often feel like a frantic race against the clock. I used to skip breakfast entirely, grabbing just a coffee as I dashed out the door. But honestly, by mid-morning, I'd be a total wreck – energy plummeting and reaching for any sugary snack I could find. Then I stumbled upon overnight oats, and it’s changed my mornings for good. No more morning meltdowns!
And this Cardamom Pear version? Oh my, it’s a symphony of flavors. The creamy oats, the juicy sweetness of pears, and that hint of warm, fragrant cardamom – it’s like a cozy hug in a jar. My friend Sarah, who is usualy not a morning person, texted me the other day raving about how it's become her new go-to. Even my picky nephew enjoys it, and that, my friends, is saying something! The best part? It takes just minutes to prepare the night before. You mix everything together, pop it in the fridge, and wake up to a breakfast that's not only delicious but also incredibly good for you.
I get it, you might be thinking, “Overnight oats? Sounds kinda boring.” But trust me on this one. The magic lies in the combination of flavors and the delightful texture. Plus, it’s so versatile! You can customize it with your favorite toppings – a sprinkle of nuts, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of yogurt. Its is the perfect autumn breakfast. So, are you ready to ditch the sugary cereals and embrace a breakfast that’s both delicious and nourishing? Let's get started!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Gather Your Ingredients: Before you start, make sure you have all your ingredients ready. It makes the process smoother and quicker. You'll need rolled oats (not instant!), milk (dairy or non-dairy works!), a ripe pear, ground cardamom, chia seeds (optional but recommended!), and a sweetener of your choice (maple syrup, honey, or agave).
- Prepare the Pear: Wash, core, and dice the pear into small, bite-sized pieces. You can peel it if you prefer, but I like to leave the skin on for added fiber and nutrients. About half a cup of diced pear is perfect for a single serving.
- Combine Ingredients in a Jar: In a mason jar or any airtight container, add the rolled oats. We are going to need half a cup. Next, add the diced pears.
- Add Spices and Chia Seeds: Sprinkle in about 1/4 teaspoon of ground cardamom. If you're using chia seeds, add a tablespoon. Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add a boost of omega-3s.
- Pour in the Milk: Pour in your choice of milk. Aim for about 3/4 cup, but you can adjust based on your preferred consistency. The milk should just cover the oats and pear mixture.
- Sweeten to Taste: Add your sweetener of choice. I usually go for a tablespoon of maple syrup, but honey or agave also work well. Adjust the amount to your liking. Some people even skip sweetener altogether!
- Stir Well: Give everything a good stir to make sure all the ingredients are well combined. There should be no dry oats at the bottom of the jar.
- Seal and Refrigerate: Seal the jar tightly with a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Let it sit overnight, or for at least 4-6 hours. This allows the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.
- Check the Consistency: In the morning, take the jar out of the fridge and check the consistency. If the oats are too thick, add a splash of milk to thin them out. If they’re too thin, you can add a little more chia seeds or oats.
- Add Toppings (Optional): This is where you can get creative! Add your favorite toppings to enhance the flavor and texture. Some great options include sliced almonds, chopped walnuts, a drizzle of honey, a dollop of yogurt, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
- Enjoy! Grab a spoon and enjoy your delicious and nutritious Cardamom Pear Overnight Oats straight from the jar. It’s the perfect way to start your day!
- Clean Up: I hate cleaning.
📝 Notes
- Feel free to adjust the amount of sweetener to your liking.
