Baked Pears – Vegan & Gluten Free

October 8, 2015

FOOD & NUTRITION

I’m all about fall flavours right now! We’re not huge dessert people, but when it’s this healthy, I’m in! I’m convinced these baked local pears are the perfect fall dessert! Classy enough to make for company, but fast and simple enough to easily make for a weeknight dinner! Dessert win!

Baked Pears

They are so easy, and such a great, healthy, dessert option! You simply need to slice the pear in half, length-wise, scoop our the seeds, crumble the oat mixture on top, and bake! Make sure your pears are ripe. Your thumb should sink in slightly when squeezed. The prep is fast and easy and the cleanup is even faster!

Baked Pears - Vegan & Gluten Free

To make the oat crumble mixture, combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and spoon onto the sliced pears. The crumble is nutty and delicious, but the best part is the soft, warm, baked pear. Amazing! And so healthy, you could eat this for breakfast. Actually, that’s not a bad idea! I might add these to my next brunch menu!
