Pear Oatmeal Creme Brulee #BrunchWeek

by Erin

Turn your everyday oatmeal into a breakfast-dessert hybrid simply by brulee-ing the top. And throw some pears, and walnuts in there while you’re at it.

One of the great things about brunch is that it’s pretty much an “anything goes” kind of meal. Sweet, savory, breakfast, dinner, dessert – they are all fair game. Due to the trend of creative food combinations you can get just about any of your favorite things breakfast/brunch-ified, even dessert.

With the help of Bob’s Red Mill, Woot Froot, Dixie Crystals, California Walnuts, and Le Creuset, I came up with a dessert oatmeal that will leave you satisfied and curb dessert cravings all in one. If you are like me, you crave dessert or at least something sweet after every single meal (yes even breakfast), so why not just eat a dessert inspired breakfast? I added pears and walnuts to my favorite oatmeal and then divided it into ramekins to be sprinkled with sugar and torched until caramelized.

What a fabulous treat! I love oatmeal for breakfast but this is on another level! Anything pear gets my vote, but that bruleed sugar on top is to die for!
