Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups (180 g) rolled oats old-fashioned, not instant
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper helps turmeric absorption
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp fine salt
  • 2 tbsp ground flaxseed optional but recommended
  • 2 medium (about 320 g) ripe pears peeled, cored, diced small
  • 1 3/4 cups (420 ml) unsweetened almond milk or oat milk
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup plus extra to serve
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil melted, plus extra to grease dish

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 375 F / 190 C. Lightly grease an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking dish with coconut oil.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, cinnamon, turmeric, ginger, black pepper, baking powder, salt, and ground flaxseed. Stir until the spices coat the oats evenly.
  3. In a separate bowl or jug, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, egg, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until smooth.
  4. Pour the liquid mixture over the oat mixture and stir to combine. Fold in three-quarters of the diced pears.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press gently to spread evenly. Scatter the remaining diced pears over the top.
  6. Bake for 32 to 35 minutes, until the top looks set and dry and the edges are lightly golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out without wet batter on it.
  7. Remove from the oven and rest for 10 minutes before slicing. The bake firms up noticeably as it cools.
