This takes humble oatmeal and transforms it into a café-worthy dish with caramelized sugar on top.

Ingredients (serves 2):

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 cups milk (or milk alternative)
• 2 tbsp Gourmet Inspirations Gingerbread Cookie Syrup
• 1 ripe pear, thinly sliced
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• 2 tbsp brown sugar (for brûlée topping)
• Garnish: toasted pecans or walnuts, drizzle of cream

Instructions:

1. In a saucepan, combine oats, milk, gingerbread syrup, vanilla, and salt. Cook over medium heat until creamy (about 5–7 minutes).
2. Stir in pear slices and cook for another 2 minutes until softened.
3. Divide oatmeal into two heatproof ramekins or bowls.
4. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly on top.
5. Use a kitchen torch (or broil briefly in oven) to caramelize the sugar until crisp.
6. Garnish with toasted nuts and a drizzle of cream.

✨ Result: A cozy, spiced oatmeal with a crackly brûlée top — indulgent but still wholesome.
