A cross between oatmeal and coffee cake- even those who grew up eating oatmeal and now detest it have happily gobbled up a slice. This one is packed with pears and can be topped with apples, pears or another favorite fruit.

Buy gluten-free specific oats if you are especially sensitive as many places cut oats in the same place as gluten products. For dairy-free, simply substitute the liquid for dairy-free milk or even water.

Ingredients

• 1½ cup rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ginger or cardamom
• 1 pinch salt
