Pear overnight oats are a delicious and healthy one bowl breakfast idea that is packed with fruit, fiber, and flavor. 

I feel like pears are a fruit that is often forgotten about, but once you have a taste you wonder why you don’t eat them all of the time. 

Today we are using canned pears, which is great because they have a longer shelf life and are budget friendly. We never have to worry if they are in season and they can be purchased just about anywhere. 

If you want to experiment with fresh pears, consider trying poached pears with pomegranate juice, roasted pears and parsnips, or pear custard pie. 

Why We Love Overnight Oats

Versatile: Overnight oats are easy to customize to your taste preferences and dietary needs. Use my other recipes at the end of this post for more ideas and never eat the same version twice! 

Convenient: As the name suggests, overnight oats can be prepared the night before and require no cooking in the morning, making them a convenient option for busy mornings. You can also meal prep them for up to 5 days in advance. 

Keeps you fuller: Getting and staying full is the key to reduce snacking until the next meal time. Depending on the toppings, you can really pack the ingredients in and add more fiber and protein.

Ingredients Needed

• Oats – for overnight oats, I recommend quick cooking or rolled. The steel cut variety are just too chewy.
• canned pears – check the label to make sure they are in juice instead of the syrup.
• chia seeds – adds tons of fiber and nutrition.
• Nutmeg – you can also use cinnamon.
• Milk – any variety will work including plant based.
• Pinch of salt
• Vanilla – adds a subtle hint of vanilla to round out the flavors 

How to Make Pear Overnight Oats 

Simply combine all of the ingredients in a container or mason jar and stir. 

Refrigerator overnight or for at least 4 hours before eating. 

Tips for Making 

• The consistency of the oats is determined by the amount of liquid used and the duration of soaking. To make thicker oats, use less liquid and soak them for a shorter period. For thinner oats, increase the liquid and extend the soaking period.
• Add a touch of sweetness with honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar. Sweeten before or after you refrigerate the oats, the choice is yours!
• Pear overnight oats are best within the first 5 days of making. 
• We recommend adding the additional toppings just before serving. 

Overnight Oat Topping Ideas

• Fresh, frozen, or dried fruit
• Nuts or seeds 
• Coconut
• Chocolate Chips
• Granola 
• Yogurt
• Nut or seed butter
