Preparation

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F)
In a bowl, add the dry ingredients - oats, cinnamon, baking powder and salt and whisk well.
In a separate bowl, add the wet ingredients - mashed pears, milk, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk well to combine.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix together.
Add in the walnuts and mix.
Pour the mixture into a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and top it off with sliced pears.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the middle is cooked, and the sides are turning brown.
Let it cool before you cut it into squares and drizzle with melted chocolate.
Let the chocolate set, and enjoy!
