Baked Red Pears – a delicious healthier bite of sweetness that you can enjoy as a breakfast or dessert
Recipe:
Ingredients:
– red pears (other types of pears or apples can work well too)
– coconut oil or grass fed butter
– cinnamon (you can use nutmeg, cloves, cardamom or other spices instead of or in addition too)
– raw unfiltered honey
– whole Greek yogurt
– granola – I used @bobsredmill Maple Sea Salt here
– shaved almonds (optional, you can use other nuts or seeds if you prefer)
– dates or other dried fruit you may enjoy (optional)
Preheat oven to 425.
Wash, dry & halve pears. Scoop out the seeds.
Coat the bottom of a baking dish with coconut oil or butter. I also rubbed some on the pears. Lay the pears face up. You can trim a little off the bottom of the pears if really round so pear halves lay well face up.
Sprinkle pears with cinnamon.
Bake on top rack for approximately 20-25 minutes until pears are soft, fragrant, they start releasing their juices & tops brown a little.
While pears are baking you can get the rest of the ingredients ready: granola, shaved almonds, dried fruit, yogurt, honey.
Whip the whole Greek yogurt with some honey so creamy and slightly sweet. You can add some cinnamon too if you want a more intense cinnamon taste to everything.
Once pears come out of the oven, drizzle with honey and serve with the whipped yogurt, nuts, fruit & granola. Enjoy!
If you will not enjoy right away, once pears are baked, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat them and follow the rest of the steps.
Let me know how you like them if you make them!
