After making Overnight Oats a few times lately, I used the leftover rolled oats to make this healthy bread.
This Oat and Pear Bread (tasted like fruit cake) still stayed soft even after the next day. The sweetness came from the dried cherry tomatoes while the chopped pears keep the bread moist and there were oats with every bite.
