Ingredients

2 Tablespoons unsalted butter (use Dairy Free butter alternative to make this recipe Dairy Free)
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
2 pears cored and sliced
3 cups rolled oats (use Gluten Free oats to make this recipe Gluten Free)
⅔ cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 large eggs
¼ cup maple syrup
2 cups milk (use your favorite Non-Dairy milk to make this recipe Dairy Free)
Your choice of yogurt for serving (optional)

Instructions

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Stir in brown sugar. Add sliced pears and cook until browned and softened, stirring often for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
Heat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9 inch (or similar sized) baking or casserole dish.
While pears are cooking, stir together oats, walnuts, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large bowl. In a separate small bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup and milk.
Pour the milk mixture into the oat mixture and stir to combine. Pour into the prepared baking dish. Arrange the caramelized pears on top of the oat mixture. Bake for 35 minutes. Serve immediately or cool and refrigerate to eat over the course of a few days. Serve with your choice of sweetened or unsweetened yogurt as desired.
