Final Comments


To prep the night before:
Mix the oats, baking powder, salt, almonds and apricots in a bowl; cover and let stand at room temperature. In another bowl, combine the milk, eggs, brown sugar, oil and cinnamon; cover and chill. The next morning, just mix the two together, stir in the pear, and bake.
