Maple Walnut Baked Oatmeal with Caramelized Pears

At this time of the year, many people who grow any sort of fruit or vegetables in their yards are busy trying to use their bounty up or preserve it. Every year I get creative trying to use up as many of my backyard pears as possible. I put them in salad, baked goods, and savory galette. Why not breakfast too? So I made this Maple Walnut Baked Oatmeal with Caramelized Pears.

Maple Walnut Baked Oatmeal with Caramelized Pears

What is baked oatmeal?

If you haven't tried baked oatmeal, it's probably time that you do. If you don't like the gloopy (I do believe that's the technical term) texture of regular oatmeal, then baked oatmeal might be right for you. It cooks up more solid - almost like a cake or muffin.

Because of this, I like to serve it with yogurt, or even milk to moisten it up a little bit. I served this particular recipe with plain Greek yogurt with a little maple syrup mixed in. Vanilla yogurt would work too.

One of the things I like most about baked oatmeal is that it's make-ahead friendly. I made mine on a Sunday night, and hubby and I ate it for breakfast over the week. You could also serve it fresh from the oven for a weekend breakfast or brunch.

And of course, if you don't like the flavorings in this particular recipe, just sub out your favorites. You can change the nuts, spices, and fruits to suit your tastes (and use up whatever fruit you happen to have hanging around).

How do you make baked oatmeal?

Making baked oatmeal uses ingredients that you would commonly find in any oatmeal, but instead of boiling it, you bake it in a casserole dish. The results are a little more hands-off, and you don't need to worry about your oatmeal pot boiling over.
