Warm Chia & Oat Pudding with Stewed Pear
A warm and creamy chia-oat pudding topped with softly stewed pear and cinnamon.
Chia seeds and oats provide a mixture of soluble and insoluble fibre, while pear contributes additional fibre and natural sweetness. Gently cooking the fruit creates a soft, comforting texture for colder mornings.
Method
- 1 Add the pear, half the cinnamon and the water to a small saucepan and cook gently over medium-low heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft enough to squash easily.
- 2 Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, combine the oats, chia seeds, milk, remaining cinnamon and vanilla.
- 3 Cook over low heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring regularly so it doesn't catch on the bottom, until thick and creamy.
- 4 Spoon the oat pudding into a bowl and top with the warm stewed pear.
- 5 Sprinkle with ground almonds and serve immediately while still warm.
