2 tablespoons pecans, chopped finely
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats, not instant or 1 1/2 cups oats

Core and dice the pears into small chunks. Combine the pears, buttermilk, maple syrup, oil, sugar, egg and all but 2 tablespoons of the oatmeal together in a second bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes.
