Rolled oats provide complex carbohydrates and dietary fiber, promoting satiety and stable energy levels. Pears add natural sweetness, vitamins, and antioxidants to the oatmeal. Almond butter offers healthy fats, protein, and essential nutrients, contributing to a satisfying and nutritious meal. Cinnamon enhances the flavor of the oatmeal without the need for excessive sugars.
