Seared Pear Oatmeal

1. In a small saucepan, combine quick oats, 1 cup milk, vanilla extract, 1 tsp cinnamon, and a sprinkle of brown sugar. Set heat to medium and allow it to come to a simmer, stirring frequently. Turn off heat and let sit to thicken.
2. In a separate pot over medium heat, add butter and melt until frothy. Then add 2 tbsp brown sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon, stir to combine. Add sliced red pear and let cook for 2-4 minutes on each side. Remove pears and add them to the oatmeal. Add an additional splash of milk and a drizzle of maple syrup, then enjoy!
