When it comes to baked oatmeal varieties, the flavor combinations are endless. This pear and walnut baked oatmeal is subtly sweet from the addition of fresh sliced pears, with undertones of cinnamon and maple. Topped with chopped walnuts and more cinnamon sugar, this baked oatmeal is a delicious sweet breakfast, or good enough to have for a sweet snack or dessert. Serve pear and walnut baked oatmeal alone, or alongside yogurt or whipped cream and fruit for the ultimate dish.
