Pour in oat milk, vanilla, and maple syrup, then fold in diced pears until evenly distributed.
Transfer mixture into the baking dish, add optional pear slices on top, and bake for 28–32 minutes until golden and set.
Let it cool slightly to set. Serve warm on its own or with maple drizzle and warm oat milk.
