Ingredients

3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup chopped pecans — half stirred in, half on top
1 tbsp ground flaxseed — optional; helps bind
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cardamom
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp fine sea salt
2 ripe pears — cored and diced
2 large eggs
1 3/4 cups milk (dairy or oat)
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
2 tbsp melted coconut oil or butter
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup pecan halves
2 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 tbsp rolled oats
flaky sea salt — pinch

Instructions

1Heat the oven: Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the oats, half the chopped pecans, flaxseed, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, and salt. Stir in the diced pears.
3Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, maple syrup, melted oil, and vanilla.
4Assemble: Pour the wet mixture over the dry and stir to combine. Spread into the dish and rest 5 minutes so the oats start to absorb.
5Add the topping: Toss the pecan halves, maple syrup, 1 tbsp oats, and flaky salt; scatter over the top.
6Bake 38–42 minutes, until set in the center and golden at the edges. Rest 10 minutes before serving.
7Serve warm with an extra drizzle of maple syrup or a splash of cream. Keeps 5 days refrigerated; reheat squares in the microwave.
