Warming Winter Breakfast Oats

Posted on February 10, 2021October 18, 2021 by Malu

It snowed! It’s cold! And I decided to get back into the habit of having fruit for breakfast.

There is not a lot of fruit in the middle of winter but thankfully the freezer is full of things from when the garden was full of food.

I just made something with what I had, and it was so good I had to write it down and share before I forget.

It’s nice and warming, makes you feel healthy and ready for the day and it only takes 5 minutes to make.

It may look simple and it is very simple to make. But the taste is yum! And it warms you up. And as if that was not enough, ginger and cinnamon are natural immune boosters.

Ingredients for 1 portion:

  • 1 defrosted pear with the juice that comes out when you defrost fruit.
    If you don’t have frozen pear, but a fresh (mushier is better) one, throw it in the blender or chop fine and make sure you get all the juice.
  • A piece of fresh ginger, about the size of an almond/walnut (depends on how spicy/healthy you want it).
  • A hand full of oats.
  • 1/2 hand full of almonds, coarsely chopped.
  • Cinnamon for garnish (optional).

Instructions:

  1. Throw all the ingredients, except the cinnamon, in a small pot over low heat.
  2. Gently warm and stir until the pear falls apart and everything is moist and bubbling. If there isn’t enough pear juice and you’re worried about burning, add water.
  3. Serve in a bowl that warms your hands and sprinkle with cinnamon.

PS: Our pears are super sweet and juicy. If yours are not, consider adding some sweetening like honey or whatever you use to sweeten your breakfasts.

    About me

    My name is Malu. I am a conservation-ecologist currently living in Germany. I’ve always been wild about the outdoors and can spend hours looking at an insect labouring away at its daily challenges, or a bird building its nest, or … there’s just so much amazing stuff happening out there! I’m really glad you’ve made it onto this page so I can share my joy with you.

    Monthly Challenges

    We only have about 6 to 8 years left to turn this environmental mess of a ship around. So much has to happen politically, but the people also need to change habits and start to appreciate our environment more. So every 1st of the month I post a nature care challenge with environmentally friendly lifestyle choices of habits for you to try for 30 days and, if you like, let it stick with you for longer, maybe even for life.

    Lots of little droplets make up the largest ocean.

    Are you absolutely unable to do the current challenge? Or maybe you are underwhelmed with the challenge and want an extra one? Check out the previous challenges to see if there is something you would like to try.

    The challenges  make up the major part in the flow of posts here, so they are easy to find. But if you want to get a good overview of the challenges set so far, simply follow the link below.

    Do you want to set next month’s sustainability challenge?

    Contact me and pitch your challenge to me. It might be up next month. You can either write the whole challenge, and why we should do it, or just give me an idea for something to look into.
