This cranberry pear walnut baked oatmeal is packed with natural sweetness AND tartness from the fresh cranberries and diced pears! It's an easy breakfast that can be made in advance, and it's also a hit with a crowd!
In a medium bowl, mix together the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a large measuring cup, whisk together the milk, honey, eggs, and vanilla. Add liquid mixture to dry mixture in the bowl and stir to just combine, then add mashed banana. Drizzle in butter or coconut oil while stirring, then add cranberries, diced pear, and nuts.
Grease an 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Pour oat mixture into pan and bake for 25-28 minutes, until the baked oatmeal is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan and then serve, or refrigerate in a storage container for up to 5 days, reheating in microwave before serving.
