Baked Pear and Walnut Oatmeal
I found this great recipe at Beauty and Bedlam and tweaked it just a bit to fit what we had on hand.
- 4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 TB butter
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- dash of salt
- 2 cups Scottish Oatmeal
- 2 Pears diced
- 1 cup chopped Walnuts
Preheat oven to 350°. Bring milk, sugar, butter, salt and cinnamon to boil in a heavy pot. Add the remaining ingredients and bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes in buttered casserole dish.
This turned out really delicious however the kids didn’t think it was sweet enough so they put a little milk and extra sugar over their oatmeal. Hubby thought it was perfect! Next time I will probably use 3/4 cup brown sugar and we will also try it with the apples. Great easy recipe.

This sounds delicious. I may give this a try making this in the crockpot. Have you done that? I host a weekly blog event called Crock Pot Wednesday. I’d love for you to come join me in that. I’ll let you know how the crock pot version of this turns out.
I have not tried it in the crock pot, this was my very first time making it. However that would be wonderful!! Please let me know how it turns out.
I look forward to checking out your blog this evening after I get home from my day of errands.

Have you ever tried making this with soaked oats? (Oats have a lot of phytic acid.) I may try that, it looks so good! Thanks for joining in on Real Food Wednesday!

I have never used soaked oats, to be honest I have read recipes that used soaked oat but wasn’t quite sure what to do!! LOL
Yum – sounds like a great combination!
