| Have you heard of “hyperfixation meals”? They’re meals that you like so much that you eat them for days on end. At one point, one of my hyperfixation meals was oatmeal: I ate an instant oatmeal packet every single day for a month. If you like oatmeal as much as I do (or did, when I was eating it every day), you’ll want to try today’s recipe. I know I would have loved it then! |

| Pear cobbler oatmeal |
| If you’re looking to zhuzh up your oatmeal (instant or otherwise), this easy, wintery recipe is for you. Simply prepare your oatmeal as you normally would, adding diced pears and raisins before heating. Then, top with maple syrup, chopped walnuts, cinnamon, and a splash of extra milk. |
| Oats contain a compound called beta-glucan, a type of soluble fiber that can reduce blood glucose and insulin responses, as well as increase the amount of beneficial bacteria in the gut. Oats can also help lower cholesterol and support weight loss, among other benefits. |
