ingredients

  • 2 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, or coconut sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 heaping teaspoon cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups almond milk, or milk of choice
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 bosc pear, quartered and cored

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.

  • Step 2

    Mix dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and set aside. Whisk wet ingredients together in a separate bowl until well combined. Pour wet into dry and mix to evenly distribute. Chop 3/4 of the pear into small pieces and thinly slice the remaining 1/4; set aside.

  • Step 3

    Pour half the oat mixture into prepared baking dish. Spread chopped pear evenly on top, then top with remaining oat mixture. Arrange pear slices on top in a pinwheel, or other design. Press down slightly to ensure pear sticks.

  • Step 4

    Bake for 45-55 minutes, until lightly golden brown. Let cool slightly before slicing. Store covered in the fridge. Reheat to serve.
