Wake up with creamy, spiced pear overnight oats made with Greek yogurt, pear butter, and warm cinnamon. Perfect for breakfast or a snack!
I just don’t feel like pears get enough love in the fall. But I love them in these overnight oats: packed with fiber, soft, sweet flavor and they pair with so many cozy spices like cinnamon, ginger, cloves, etc.
If you’re as pear-obsessed as I am, try my slow-cooker pear butter next—it’s cozy, naturally sweet, and makes the whole house smell like fall. I also love pears in my chicken harvest salad on pear and prosciutto pizza, or shaken into a pear gin fizz when I’m feeling fancy.
And if you love an easy, make-ahead breakfast as much as I do, don’t sleep on my apple pie overnight oats or maple chai overnight oats—they’re cozy, spiced, and the perfect way to start your morning.
ingredients for this recipe
- rolled oats: naturally gluten-free. the base of this recipe.
- milk: liquid to “cook” the oats. I use almond milk but any milk will do.

- chopped pear: for texture, fiber and fresh pear flavor.

- toppings: chopped pears, extra pear butter, pecans, chia seeds, etc
NOTES / SUBSTITUTIONS:
- Yogurt: Swap for coconut/almond yogurt for vegan option.
