Baked Oatmeal Recipe with Pears
You probably know how much I love baked oatmeal, it’s seriously so good and so great to make with any fruit that is in season. Here I use over-ripe bananas with fall pears and maple syrup to it. It’s the perfect fall or winter breakfast.
Baked oatmeal is also great for meal prep. Bake it, slice it into portions and refrigerate. Then pop it in the microwave a few seconds to heat up.
