Caramelized Pear Baked Oatmeal

Caramelized Pear Baked Oatmeal

Sharing is caring!

#FallFlavors is 1/2 way over already, can you believe it?! It’s a cool 50 degree day in Colorado right now and the smell of Fall is in the air. We had such a hot August that I completely welcome this cold spell we’re having the next few days! Even if temperatures will rise again as the week progresses, that’s ok. I’ll take the cooler weather while it lasts!

Years ago, when I was little, my family visited a Mennonite farm. I don’t remember a lot about our time there. Except for being given a baby chicken that we named Buffalo Wings. Or should I say, my little brother named him that. I don’t know why, but we always named pets after food. We had a fish named Sushi too, at one point. Cruel, I know. But oh so funny! I also remember the breakfasts they cooked for us. It was a bed & breakfast and every morning we would wake up to the smell of freshly baked breads and muffins. And one morning, baked oatmeal! They even gave my mom the recipe, which I, of course, tweaked, to create this delicious gluten free version with the flavors of pear and caramel.  It’s a simple, yet hearty dish, perfect for those crisp, Fall mornings. It can be put together the night before and baked fresh in the morning. Or, bake the whole thing the night before and slice into squares to reheat. It’s just as good reheated (and I don’t say that about many recipes. I’m not a leftovers fan).
