Baked Pear Oatmeal

  • 2 cups rolled oats

  • 1 tsp ground ginger

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • Pinch of salt

  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 4 cups bosc pears, chopped (about 4 pears)

  • 1/2 cup raw walnuts

  • Optional toppings: maple syrup, nut butter, greek yogurt

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375F. While the oven heats, chop pears into roughly 1/2-inch chunks (leave skin on).

  • In a large mixing bowl, stir dry ingredients together (oats, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, salt).

  • Then, pour wet ingredients (almond milk, vanilla) into the mixing bowl. Stir wet and dry ingredients together until well-combined. Gently fold in chopped pears.

  • Finally, pour the mixture evenly into a baking dish (I used a 9″x 6″ one) and sprinkle the top with walnuts. Place baking dish in oven for about 35 minutes.

  • The oatmeal will be done once it starts to bubble and brown at the top. Remove oatmeal from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving and adding toppings.
