Ingredients
Oat Mixture:
- 2 cups Nature's Path Old Fashioned Oats
- 1/2 cup Nature's Path Coconut Chia Granola
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
- Scant 1/2 tsp salt
Liquid Mixture:
- 2 1/4 cups unsweetened cashew milk (or nut/seed milk of your choice)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 Tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Bottom Layer:
- 2 medium pears, chopped into bite sized pieces
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate, chopped + a little extra to sprinkle on top

- Preheat the oven to 375F. Grease an 8-inch baking dish with coconut oil.

Give the pan a good couple of whacks on the counter to ensure the liquid reaches the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup Coconut Chia Granola and a few shavings of dark chocolate, if desired.
- Bake for 30 - 35 minutes, until golden and set. Let cool for 5 - 10 minutes before serving. Serve with coconut whipped cream, plant-based yogurt or more cashew milk.
