Ingredients
Baked Pears
- 3 Large organic pears, washed and cut in halves
- 1/4 cup Raw unsalted walnuts
- Pure maple syrup, to drizzle
Granola
- 1 cup rolled oat flakes Oats are naturally GF, but for celiacs, look for GF certified
- 1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds
- 3 TBSP coconut oil melted
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Melt the coconut oil in a small pot on low heat, then remove from the heat.
- With a melon ball scoop or a teaspoon, remove the seed and hearts of the pear halves. Put into an oven-safe baking tray, sprinkle the walnuts on top and drizzle some maple syrup over the pears.
- Bake in a 390 degree F/180 degree C oven for about 25 minutes
- In a mixing bowl, mix the oat flakes, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, drizzle the melted coconut oil on top, and mix in well to coat. Mix in a pinch of salt, and the maple syrup. Mix well to coat.
- Spread the oat mixture evenly on a small baking sheet, and bake at 390 degrees F/180 degrees C for about 20 minutes or until it starts to brown. Don’t overcook it.
- Remove from the oven and let the granola and pears cool for 5-10 minutes before eating.
- Serve on top of plain yogurt of your choice. Drizzle a bit more maple syrup if you wish. Enjoy right away, or you can keep this covered in the fridge for the next morning. Heat up in a 200 degree F oven for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Look for raw unsalted walnuts and seeds, since these will be cooked in the oven in this recipe. They are also healthier. Use organic pears whenever possible since the non-organic are on the Dirty Dozen list.
