- 1 tsp ground cloves
- 1 tsp salt

- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown and the center is set.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
I used quick oats, but you can definitely use old fashioned oats if you are looking for a hearty and textured oatmeal bake.
*I diced one pear and thinly sliced the other to add it to the top and make it look pretty. Dicing both works just fine if you don’t care about aesthetics (I usually just dice both for convenience but did it this way for photos!)
You can use canned pears - just make sure to drain completely before dicing.
BEST eaten after chilling in the fridge for a few hours (or even better - overnight!) and topped with some vanilla yogurt and nut butter 😋 A perfect breakfast, afternoon snack, or healthy dessert!
