Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour*
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 3/4 cups old-fashioned or quick cooking oats

- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large Bosc pears

*Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.
