Fruit Medley: Swap out the pears for apples or roasted figs for a delightful twist.
Spiced Up: Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger for an extra warming kick that complements the chai flavors beautifully.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Make-Ahead: Prepare the oats the night before and store them in the fridge. Just heat them in the morning, add pears and enjoy!
Ingredient Swaps: If you don’t have pecans, walnuts or almonds work just as well for that crunchy topping.
Slicing Pears: To make slicing easier, halve the pear and remove the core, then cut each half into thin slices.
Storage Suggestions: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat with a splash of milk or water for extra creaminess.
