Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 cup chopped toasted pecans (optional)

Wet Ingredients

1 3/4 cups milk any kind
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
2 pears, 1 diced and 1 sliced thin (Bartlett or Happi pears are what I use)

Cinnamon Sugar Topping (optional)

1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray an 8×8 or similar sized baking dish with cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. In a separate mixing bowl whisk together the wet ingredients (excluding the pears).
Pour the wet ingredients in with the dry and stir together until combined. Stir in the diced pear. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Arrange the sliced pear on top.
In a small bowl whisk together the cinnamon sugar topping. Sprinkle on top of the oatmeal mixture. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the oatmeal is set and the edges are golden brown. Let the oatmeal cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Storage - Leftover baked oatmeal will keep in the fridge for 4 days. You can also freeze it for 2 months. Wrap individual pieces in plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container.

Reheat - Reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds or from frozen for 60-90 seconds.
