Salted Pear and Cardamom Oatmeal

I'm really into cardamom now. This time, I paired it with fresh pears and peanut butter and Himalayan sea salt. Strange? Yes, but oh so good.

Ingredients:

1/2 c old-fashioned oatmeal

1 c water

1/4 c unsweetened applesauce
1/4 t cardamom

1 T (or more) natural almond butter

1/2 a Bartlett pear, diced

Himalayan sea salt

1 T (or more) natural peanut butter

Directions:

1. Bring water and oats to a boil and reduce heat to medium.

2. When oats reach the desired consistency, stir in the applesauce and cardamom. Simmer oatmeal on low until some of the liquid from the applesauce absorbs and the oats become thick and rich.

3. Transfer oatmeal to a bowl, and top with the sea salt, peanut butter, and diced pear.
