Chai Spiced Pear Oatmeal

This post is sponsored by The Quaker Oats Company

foodblog-12-of-14

If that doesn’t warm up your chilly fall morning, then I don’t know what will! Warming chai spice from brewed tea, sweet caramelized pears, and creamy cinnamon-vanilla oatmeal come together for one perfect fall breakfast.

And have you heard? Quaker’s three finalist flavors in its first-ever Bring Your Best Bowl contest have been announced! Apple Cheddar Rosemary, Lemon Ricotta Pancake and Vanilla Chai are available for a limited time at stores nationwide to try and vote for your  favorite!

Inspired by the three finalist flavors, and in celebration of all things oatmeal, I created this new oatmeal recipe. I couldn’t find a pre-mixed chai spice in the grocery store. I was about to buy all the spices separately and make my own (which isn’t hard at all, just a bit tedious) but then I had the idea of using chai tea as the spice base – something I already had in my kitchen, and I bet you do too!

Brew a small mug of tea, chop your pear, and you’re all ready to go!

foodblog-1-of-14

Bosc pears are my favorite, and I love the texture of their skin. The riper your pear, the sweeter your oats will be.

Begin with a little salted butter melted in a medium pot and cook the pear until the edges are brown, about 5 minutes.

Add your Quaker® Old Fashioned Oats (the best!)

Plus the milk and cinnamon

And finally the brewed chai tea. Stir over medium heat for a few minutes until all liquid is absorbed.

Portion into bowls and drizzle with almond butter 🙂

Serve with more tea for the perfect pairing.

    The three finalist flavors as well as yours sound incredible! I don’t think they’re gluten free, which stinks because I’d love for Matt to try them and vote as well. I’ll still look for them in stores and try to participate. 🙂

    I am obsessed with pears right now. This oatmeal sounds gorgeous, Do you think you could get away with batch making this?

    Oh my gosh I love chai! Right now I only have green tea chai though which is amazing but probably kind of weird in this! I love that you browned the bit first!

    This recipe looks awesome, Kathy! I love Quaker Oats. I regularly stock their organic oatmeal and their oat bran on hand all the time, even if I have to order them online. I love the contest too, I participated in it last year and have already voted this year. So cool to see you working with them and this recipe looks so cozy! 🙂

    If you are ever in the market for chai spice powder, you can find it at an Indian grocery store—look for “chai masala powder”. It is delish!

    This is such a gamechanger!! I’d never thought of brewing tea and adding it, but I’ll be giving it a go now!
