In a medium saucepan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the diced pear and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the pear has softened. Add the cinnamon, cardamom, and a pinch of sea salt.
Add the almond milk, water, oats, flax, chia seeds, and dates. Bring to a boil, and reduce the heat to medium low, cooking for 10 to 12 minutes, until the oats have softened. Remove from the heat, and add the vanilla.
While the oats are cooking, make the pear topping: heat the remaining 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the pears, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, lower the heat to medium-low and add the maple syrup and cinnamon, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until the pears slightly caramelize. Remove from heat.
Divide the oats between bowls, and top with the pear topping and a dollop of almond butter.
