Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 large pear
- 0.33 cup walnuts
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, yogurt, honey or maple syrup, chia seeds (if using), and ground cinnamon. Stir well to combine.
Step 2
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.
Step 3
Just before serving, wash the pear and cut it into thin slices or small cubes. Drizzle the pear slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Step 4
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are lightly golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 5
Divide the chilled muesli mixture between two serving bowls.
Step 6
Top each bowl with the fresh pear slices, toasted walnuts, and a drizzle of additional honey or maple syrup if desired.
Step 7
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a hint of freshness and a pop of color, if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious, delicious muesli with pears and walnuts.
