EARL GREY OVERNIGHT OATS W’ HIBISCUS POACHED PEARS

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
Earl Grey Overnight Oats w’ Hibiscus Poached Pears

I’m all over meal-prepping—when it comes to breakfast, that is. One jar, a handful of ingredients, and I go to bed smiling knowing there’s zip I have to do for the morning chow-down.

Overnight oats have so many incarnations, but using heady, floral tea flavours is my fave way to make ‘em. If I have a teensy bit of extra time on my hands, I like to pimp the oatmeal prep with some poached or baked fruit—MAGIC.

Earl grey is my especial favourite; a fragrant breakfast tea with a citrussy, bergamot tang. I’ve also tried this recipe with my other tea love, jasmine, and it tastes just as delish.

My go-to tea brand is Clipper Teas, both because all their flavours make a potent brew, and because their tea bags are plastic-free (you can read more about their green packaging here).

Overnight Oats Tips

Choose your oats

Go for rolled oats if you want a silkier, smooth texture. If chunkier oats are your thing, opt for the chewier steel-cut.

Only add toppings at the very end

You want your oats to soak up the liquid—but not your fruit, seeds, nut butters, etc. Go wild with the extras, but only when you’re ready to eat. Nobody likes a soggy banana 😏.

If adding chia seeds, shake up your oatmeal jar halfway through

As chia seeds soak up liquid, they swell and get sticky. To prevent clumping, just give your overnight oats an extra shake or whisk halfway through chilling,

Overnight oats taste best chilled

Eating them cold preserves any flavour you’ve added, too.

Overnight oats can be stored (in the refrigerator) for up to five days

In other words, make a batch and your entire work week is sorted. BOOYAH. 🙌🏻

Breakfast meal prep deluxe! Aromatic earl grey flavours infuse the creamiest of oats—with a side of sweet, blushing poached pear. 💗


Scale

Ingredients

For the overnight oats—

  • 1 Earl Grey (or jasmine) tea bag
  • 1 cup hot boiling water
  • 4 tbsp maple syrup (or honey)
  • 2 cups rolled oats 
  • 2 cups milk of your choice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds (black or white) 

For the poached pears—

  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 3 firm pears, cut in half, core removed
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 3 star anise
  • 2 hibiscus tea bags 
  • 2 cups apple juice
  • 2 tbsp food grade rose water 

Instructions

For the overnight oats—

  1. Steep tea bag in boiling water for 5 minutes, then discard and pour fragrant tea into glass jar (1 litre capacity, approx.)
  2. Add remainder of ingredients. Whisk well. Refrigerate for 6-8 hours, or overnight. 
  3. Add more honey to taste before serving, if necessary. 

For the poached pears—

  1. Squeeze lemon juice over pears to prevent browning. Add remaining ingredients into a medium, shallow pot or skillet over a medium heat. Sit pears in mixture with cut side face down. The juice should cover around half the pears.
  2. Cook for about 40 minutes until juice reduces and pear flesh begins to blush. Serve warm or cold with overnight oats.
