Save time in the morning with this Pear Almond Baked Oatmeal. Perfect for breakfast on-the-go or as a healthy and delicious snack.

Nothing feels cozier than waking up to a warm and hearty breakfast. This Pear Almond Baked Oatmeal is simple enough to whip up on a weekend morning, but can also be done the night before. Then all you have to do it reheat it and add your desired toppings. You can also make this on a Sunday for a week full of delicious snacks or dessert! After baking, cut into squares of your desired size and keep them in an airtight container in the fridge. Just grab one whenever you need something to tie you over until the next meal.

What you will need…
The main ingredients you need for this recipe are:
- Quick oats
- I find these oats prevent the baked oatmeal from crumbling as much as it would with large flake oats.
- Milk
- Opt for dairy milk or your favourite plant-based beverage. Keep in mind, dairy or soy milk will provide much more protein than other plant-based options.
- Eggs
- Keeping the oatmeal together while offering a variety of beneficial nutrients.
- Flaxseed
- These seeds are so packed with nutrients, it’s unreal! Fibre, omega 3s AND protein. I recommend using ground flaxseeds so it’s easier to digest and absorb the nutrients!
- Brown sugar
- A little bit of sweetness goes a long way in this recipe.
- Pear
- Can’t forget this one! I recommend using a firmer pear if you choose to grate it instead of dice. Otherwise, a riper pear will offer a sweeter flavour.
- Almonds
- This ingredient adds a great crunchy texture and some nutrients like protein, healthy fats and fibre.
- Vanilla extract, cinnamon, baking powder and salt
- These ingredients contribute to the flavour and texture of this baked oatmeal so can’t be missed!

Toppings to try:
The sweetness of the baked pears and the toasted almonds pair wonderfully in this dish and can be complemented by a variety of toppings. Here are some of my favourite that I recommend you try!
- Chopped nuts and seeds (extra almonds, walnuts, flaxseeds or hemp seeds)
- Sliced pear
- Banana slices
- A dollop of Greek yogurt
- Drizzled nut butter
- Maple syrup

I hope this Pear and Almond Baked Oatmeal helps make your mornings easier and enjoyable. Let me know what toppings you choose to serve with it. Enjoy!

Author: Ashlen Leonard
- 2 cups quick oats
- 2 cups milk or plant-based/dairy-free milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups pear diced or grated*
- 2 tbsp flax seeds ground
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Toppings (optional)
- Sliced almonds
- Sliced pear
- Banana
- Maple syrup
- Greek yogurt
- Nut butter
Preheat oven to 350°F and grease an 8×8 Pyrex baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. To this, add the vanilla extract and pear.
In a medium sized bowl, combine all dry ingredients and stir.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until incorporated. Pour this oatmeal mixture into the greased Pyrex dish and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for 5 minutes before serving with your desired toppings. Enjoy!
*If you prefer to use grated pear, ensure the pear is firm enough to do so. If it has ripened too much it will be too soft to properly grate.
Dietary considerations:
- Gluten free: make sure you use certified gluten-free oats
- Dairy free: use dairy-free or plant-based milk and do not use Greek yogurt as a topping
