Golden, creamy oats meet warm, soft pears, a crunchy pecan date topping, and the tangy pop of passionfruit. It’s cozy, rich, and just indulgent enough to feel like a little morning luxury.

ABOUT THE RECIPE
Creamy, slow-cooked oats, sweet, jammy pears, a crispy pecan-date crunch, and a final hit of passionfruit to keep things interesting. It’s rich but not heavy, naturally sweet but not cloying, and the kind of thing that makes you feel like you’re staying at a really nice boutique hotel (even if you’re still in pajamas). Plus, it’s easy to make ahead, which is always a win.
How to serve
Serve this in your favorite bowl, drizzle with a little extra syrup if you’re feeling fancy, and don’t skimp on the crunch, it’s the best part. The passionfruit should be the last thing you add to keep that fresh, tart contrast. If you want to take it up a notch, add a dollop of yogurt or a splash of coconut milk. And if you’re a texture person, toasted coconut or cacao nibs would be a solid move.
How to store
Leftover oats keep in the fridge for up to 3 days, just reheat with a splash of milk or water to bring them back to life. The pear compote and crunch store separately in airtight containers (compote in the fridge, crunch at room temp) for easy layering all week.
