    Equipment

    • Cast iron skillet

    Ingredients

    • 2 bosc pears, diced
    • 2 tablespoon butter
    • 1 cup Old fashioned or rolled oats
    • 2 tablespoon honey
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
    • ½ juice of 1 lemon
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • Vanilla Greek yogurt, optional

    Instructions

    • Heat 2 tablespoon butter in a cast iron skillet. Meanwhile, dice pears and set aside.
    • Add oats, honey, and cinnamon; cook until oats are toasted and ingredients start to "clump". Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
    • In the same skillet, add pears, ginger, lemon, and vanilla extract (use additional butter if needed). Stir until coated and cook until pears are tender, about 6-8 minutes.
    • Once tender, spread pears so they cover the bottom of the skillet. Top with oat mixture and cook an additional 1-2 minutes.
    • Remove from skillet and serve with a scroop of vanilla Greek yogurt or ice cream!

    Notes

    You may need to double the recipe if using a large cast iron skillet. You can also use a baking dish and cook in the oven.
