This pear baked oatmeal is made with warming spices and studded with fresh pears and walnuts for a cozy breakfast. It’s vegan, gluten-free and great for meal prep.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray an 8×8 baking dish with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, mix together rolled oats, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, baking powder, salt, almond milk, applesauce, maple syrup, flaxseed, coconut oil, vanilla, walnuts and diced pears.
Pour mixture into prepared baking dish and top with sliced pears.
Bake for about 40-50 minutes or until the center has set and a toothpick comes out clean. Allow baked oatmeal to cool just a bit before serving.
Serve with a drizzle of almond butter, almond milk, or maple syrup.
Notes
Flaxseed: If you don't have flaxseed on hand and don't need this recipe to be vegan, you can use a regular egg instead.
Oil: You can skip it or swap it with another oil, melted butter (or ghee) or even more applesauce.
Walnuts: You can swap for a different nut if you'd like or skip as well.
