Ingredients
  

2 ripe pears, diced

2 cups rolled oats

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

2 cups almond milk (or milk of choice)

1/4 cup maple syrup or honey

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans, optional)

1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with a little oil or cooking spray.

    Prepare the pears: Peel and dice the pears into small cubes. Set aside.

      Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

        Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until combined.

          Combine everything: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir in the diced pears and optional raisins/cranberries. If using, fold in the chopped nuts for extra crunch.

            Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set and the top is slightly golden.

              Cool and serve: Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. You can enjoy it warm or at room temperature. Serve with a splash of almond milk or yogurt on top, if desired!
