Last time I checked, all healthy recipe blogs are required to have at least five variations on oatmeal! 😉 Just kidding. This delicious pie filling oatmeal is reminiscent of the classic pie filling and is complimented by my favorite brand of pumpkin pie spice and fresh pears. Yes, pears. I know apples are more classy, but sometimes they don’t cook all the way and leave a sour aftertaste. Pears are a little more sweet, juicy, and soft.
This recipe makes a single serving, but feel free to multiply it for the whole family. I ended up doing that after I made a single serving and my four younger siblings saw mine and decided they wanted some, too! They love to pour fresh goat milk over theirs.
I’ve included two different options for added protein in the pie filling oatmeal: Cottage cheese, or liquid egg whites. The cottage cheese, which is what I used in the picture, gives the oatmeal more texture and adds another separate element, while the egg whites (my personal favorite) will give it a more creamy and smooth texture. Both are great options, it mostly depends on your preference and what ingredients you have available, however, If you’re dairy free go with the egg whites.
If you aren’t a fan of pumpkin spice, you might want to check out my most popular oatmeal video: Upgraded Sweatpants Oatmeal! Don’t let the name scare you, it’s a great recipe to make ahead the night before and has received over 1K views on YouTube [a larger number for a smaller channel 🙂 ]
