Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 1 large pear
• 0.33 cup walnuts
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
• 2 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, yogurt, honey or maple syrup, chia seeds (if using), and ground cinnamon. Stir well to combine.

Step 2

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.

Step 3

Just before serving, wash the pear and cut it into thin slices or small cubes. Drizzle the pear slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.

Step 4

Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are lightly golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

Divide the chilled muesli mixture between two serving bowls.

Step 6

Top each bowl with the fresh pear slices, toasted walnuts, and a drizzle of additional honey or maple syrup if desired.

Step 7

Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a hint of freshness and a pop of color, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious, delicious muesli with pears and walnuts.
