Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe pears, peeled, cored, and diced Ripe pears provide natural sweetness and moisture; apples can be used as a substitute.
- 120 g rolled oats Rolled oats work best for texture; avoid instant oats.
- 300 ml milk (dairy or plant-based) Use any milk preferred, like almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
- 2 large eggs Can be swapped with flaxseed meal mixed with water for a vegan option.
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
- Peel, core, and dice the pears into bite-sized pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, milk, eggs, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
- Spread the diced pears evenly in the bottom of a small baking dish.
- Pour the oat mixture over the pear layer, ensuring it covers the fruit completely.
- Bake for about 30–35 minutes, until the top is golden and the casserole is set in the center.
- Let it cool slightly, then serve warm.
Notes
To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean. Overbaking can cause the casserole to become dry. Let it cool slightly before serving for a better texture.
