Oat Roasted Pears
Love baked apples? These pears are an elegant variation that I like to serve warm, in the morning in place of oatmeal (though I do love my oatmeal!)
NOTES: Serve warm, drizzled with honey and with yogurt for breakfast, or with ice cream for dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (100 g) rolled oats
- ⅓ cup (67 g) light brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup (26 g) sliced almonds
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup (60 g) unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for brushing
- 3 Tbsp (26 g) raisins
- 4 Bartlett or Bosc Pears, medium ripeness
- honey, for drizzling
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (150°C).
Step 2
Toss the oats, brown sugar, almonds and cinnamon to combine. Stir in the melted butter until roughly combined, then stir in the raisins.
Step 3
Cut the pears in half (do not peel) and scoop out the core. Lay pear halves in a baking dish and brush tops with melted butter. If they don’t sit flat in the baking dish, slice a flat spot on the underside of the pear.
Step 4
Press the oat filling onto each pear and bake uncovered for 25 minutes, until the pears are tender and oat filling is lightly browned.
