Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal Stuffed Pears

The weather is getting cooler, so that means its time for oatmeal! Ditch the bowl and use cinnamon baked pears for a warm and fruity touch. Thank you Eggland’s Best for the recipe!

• Yield: 5 servings

• Prep time: 15 min

• Cook time: 30 min

• Total time: 45 min

Ingredients

• 2 Braswell Family Farms eggs (large)

• 5 Bartlett pears, ripe and sliced vertically

• 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats

• ¼ cup walnuts, chopped

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1 teaspoon nutmeg

• ½ teaspoon baking powder

• 1 cup almond milk (or any regular or dairy-free milk you prefer)

• 2 tablespoons almond butter

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract divided evenly

• ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons honey

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Scoop out the center of each pear half until the center is deep enough to stuff with oatmeal mixture.

3. Slice a tiny sliver off the bottom of each pear to create a flat surface so pears sit upright on baking sheet.

4. Add the dry ingredients (oats, walnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg and baking powder) into a medium-sized mixing bowl and mix together.

5. In a separate bowl whisk together eggs, milk, almond butter, vanilla extract and honey and then pour mixture into the dry ingredients.

6. Stir together until all ingredients are combined.

7. Using your hands or a teaspoon, stuff the pears with the mixture.

8. Mix the two tablespoons of honey with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and then drizzle on top of the pears.

9. Bake for 30 minutes or until pears are tender and lightly browned.
