This Oatmeal and Pear Bake has a case of multiple personalities. I am unsure whether to call it a dessert, or a breakfast. Maybe it’s both.
I love dishes like this. They are like the Swiss army knife of foods: Make them for breakfast, send kids with a slice to school, or get one for you when you feel like having dessert but don’t want to go crazy with the sugar.
I have written before how we are big fans of oatmeal at home. My daughter is very enthusiastic and vocal about her love of oatmeal porridge, and we make oatmeal breakfast very often. I am always trying to find new versions to add to our repertoire.
The combination of the sweet dry fruit, the delicate taste of Forelle pears, the light, but flavorful Carnation Low Fat 2% on a bed of creamy oatmeal just did the trick. I have a very appreciative kid to vouch for it.
