Maple Pear Baked Oatmeal
Maple pear baked oatmeal. Because sometimes you just want something fancy for breakfast.
One of my favorite blogs from back in the day was The Oatmeal Artist. I loved how organized the recipe archives were and how they riffed on one simple concept: oatmeal. There were zero bells and whistles to the site and yet it was pages upon pages of inspiration for breakfast.
How they came up with so many different flavor combinations for oatmeal blew my mind.
The more I made their baked oatmeal recipes, the more confident I became in creating my own. The template they followed was a simple one: 1/2 cup of rolled oats, 1/3 cup of milk, 1/4 tsp of baking powder, 1 tbsp of sweetener (sugar, jam, maple syrup), and 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract were the basis of every single baked oatmeal recipe. The mix-in’s were always kept to around 1/2 cup and could be anything under the sun.
Once I knew THAT, I started to play with my own flavor combinations.
That is, until I completely forgot that I liked oatmeal for breakfast and started having toast and bagels every morning. It also became a little cumbersome to bake something for 20 minutes first thing in the morning while trying to get a big kid ready for school and an infant fed and taken care of.
After getting tired of the same old breakfast every morning, I decided it was time to bring back an old favorite: baked oatmeal. But how to do that and keep it FAILSAFE when my favorites often had strawberries or chocolate in them?
With pears and maple syrup, of course.
So get your fancy on and enjoy a batch of maple pear baked oatmeal. Because you’re worth it. And so is the oatmeal.
