Cool fall mornings call for a warm and yummy breakfast. My first thought…pancakes and waffles, but most are sugar-laden and full of refined-flour. These ingredients don’t often result in feeling full for very long and aren’t so great for your blood sugar levels.

Don’t get me wrong, I love to enjoy pancakes and waffles every once in a while, but when I need a breakfast that will keep me feeling satisfied, these sweet treats just won’t cut it. Cue the wholesome, fiber-filled goodness of oats!

This delicious fall-food inspired spiced pear oatmeal bake hits the spot. Oats are a whole grain, and are a true superfood packing in over 4 grams of fiber per cup!

Oats even have a specific type of fiber called beta-glucan that’s known to help lower cholesterol. This oat-filled breakfast bake will satisfy the taste buds, and keep you feeling full longer than a sugar-packed breakfast.

Our spiced pear oatmeal bake is a great make-ahead recipe and perfect for a cozy weekend breakfast.

Notes

This oatmeal bake is not super sweet. Feel free to add more sweetener if you’d like. I generally make the bake less sweet and add maple syrup upon serving if I want it to be sweeter.

PREP AHEAD: This is a great make-ahead recipe, simply prepare per the recipe, store in an airtight container and reheat in the microwave later!

LEFTOVERS/STORAGE: Store in an airtight glass container in the fridge for 4-6 days.

NUTRITION NOTES: Nutrition information is calculated with one tablespoon maple syrup as a garnish. This oatmeal bake is a great source of fiber. It is a fairly carb-heavy meal, so keep portion sizes in mind and pair with some fat/protein.

I like to have a slice of oatmeal bake with some yogurt or scrambled eggs.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve with fresh mint and a drizzle of maple syrup. It’s also great with yogurt or almond butter.
