Pear Raspberry Baked Oatmeal with Ginger and Almonds is a vegan breakfast recipe made with ground flaxseed, water, old-fashioned rolled oats. It takes 55 minutes of hands-on time, plus 10 minutes resting, serves 6, and each serving has 299 calories, 7 g of protein and 8 g of fiber.
Pears go in two ways here: diced pieces baked into the oats for sweetness, and thin slices across the top so they turn golden. Tart raspberries keep all that pear from tasting flat. Ground ginger gives warmth and a little grated fresh ginger adds a bright bite. Ground flax stands in for eggs, so the oatmeal sets firm enough to cut into squares but stays moist.

Tips
- Choose pears that give slightly near the stem. Very soft pears turn to mush, and hard ones stay crunchy after baking.
- Use frozen raspberries straight from the freezer. Thawed ones bleed into the oats and make them soggy.
- Certified gluten-free oats make this gluten-free.
Swap ideas
- Chopped fresh or frozen cranberries instead of raspberries
- More tart and firmer. Add 1 extra tbsp maple syrup to balance them.
- Oat milk or soy milk instead of almond milk
- A slightly richer, creamier set with no change to timing.
- Chopped pecans or walnuts instead of sliced almonds
- A heartier, more toasty crunch on top.
- Skip the fresh ginger and use 2 tsp ground ginger
- A mellower, rounder warmth without the fresh ginger's zing.

Method
Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with coconut oil. In a small bowl, stir the ground flaxseed and water together and set aside until thick and gel-like, about 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, baking powder, ground ginger, cinnamon and salt.
In a second bowl, whisk the almond milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, grated fresh ginger, vanilla, lemon zest and the thickened flax mixture until smooth. If the coconut oil clumps in the cold milk, warm the milk briefly first.
Pour the wet mixture over the oats and stir to combine. Fold in the diced pear and about three-quarters of the raspberries.
Spread the mixture evenly in the dish. Lay the pear slices across the top, dot with the remaining raspberries, then scatter the sliced almonds and the coconut sugar (if using) over everything.
Bake until the center is set and no longer wet when pressed, the edges are bubbling and the almonds are golden, 35–40 minutes. If the almonds are browning too fast, lay a sheet of foil loosely over the dish for the last 10 minutes.
Let it rest for 10 minutes so it firms up enough to slice. Cut into 6 squares and serve warm, with a spoonful of coconut yogurt if you like.
Storage: Once cool, cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat squares in the microwave for 45–60 seconds, or eat them cold. To freeze, wrap individual squares for up to 2 months and thaw overnight in the fridge.
