Caramelized Pear Overnight Oats make a great breakfast, snack, lunch, or dessert. No matter what time of day you decide to eat this recipe you are going to love it!
Ingredients to make Caramelized Pear Overnight Oats:
- 1 Pear sliced into bits sized pieces (about 200 grams)
- ½ tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 1 tsp Granulated Sugar
- 1½ tsp Light Brown Sugar
- 1 tbsp Water
- ½ tsp Cinnamon
- ½ cup Rolled Oats (about 100 grams)
- 1 cup Non-Fat Greek Yogurt (about 8 oz)
- 1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk (about 8 oz)
- 1 tbsp Chia Seeds (about 10 grams)
- ¼ cup Raspberries (about 30 grams)
- 1¼ cups Go Chocolate Crunch Cereal Brand: Kashi
Instructions:
- Heat a medium saute pan to medium-low heat. Melt the butter in the pan, but be careful not to burn the butter.
- Once the butter has melted mostly, add the pears to the pan. Toss in the butter until pears are evenly coated.
- Then sprinkle with the granulated and brown sugar. Toss a few times to coat.
- Next, add the water and cinnamon to the pan. Cook the pear slices for 8 – 10 minutes to allow to soften. Stir/toss every minute or so to prevent burning.
- While the pears are cooking, in a large bowl combine: Rolled Oats, Yogurt, Milk, and Chia Seeds.
- Once the pears have softened and caramelized add them into your bowl with the other ingredients. Stir everything together until well combined. Then cover with plastic and store in the fridge for a minimum of 6 hours.
- After 6 hours you can serve: I like to add a little Raspberries and Chocolate Granola cereal to my overnight oats, this adds a little bit more crunch and sweetness.

Nutrition
Macro Adjustments:
Below outlines the items in each macro group that are easily adjustable to meet your specific macros.
Fat:
The fat in this recipe comes from a few different ingredients. The only easy one to adjust would be the chocolate crunch cereal. You could remove it completely if you were looking to reduce the fat. If you are looking to increase the fat though, I would recommend using a higher fat greek yogurt rather than more cereal.
Carbohydrates:
Oats and the Cereal are the two main sources of carbs. If you were looking to reduce the number of carbs I would reduce the cereal first. The oats provide a ton of nutritional value. If you are looking to increase the carbs I would recommend increasing the oats, however, you will also want to add more almond milk with the increased oats.
Protein:
Yogurt is really the only source of protein but, can easily be increased or decreased. You could reduce the amount of yogurt used or you could as much as double the amount of yogurt if you wanted to drastically increase the protein.
Meal Prep:
Yes. This recipe can be meal prepped. However, I recommend storing the cereal separate from the overnight oats to keep it from becoming soggy. Add the cereal right before eating. The Overnight oats will last 4-6 days in the fridge.
Freezer Friendly:
No. The yogurt and oats will turn into a mushy mess.
