How to Make Irish Oatmeal With Pears And Maple

**Toast the Oats:** In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add 1 cup of rolled oats and toast for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
**Cook the Oatmeal:** Add 2 cups of water and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the oats are tender and creamy, stirring occasionally.
**Prepare the Pear Topping:** While the oatmeal simmers, melt 2 tablespoons of brown sugar in a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until the sugar begins to caramelize (about 2-3 minutes).
**Sauté the Pears:** Add the sliced pears and currants to the skillet with the caramelized sugar. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pears are tender and slightly golden.
**Assemble and Serve:** Divide the cooked oatmeal into bowls. Top with the pear and currant mixture. Sprinkle with chopped pecans and drizzle with maple syrup to taste.
**Enjoy!** Your delicious and warming Irish Oatmeal with Pears and Maple is ready to be savored.
