Author Rachael DeVaux

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe pears Anjou or Bosc preferred, halved and seeded (leave stem on one of the halves of each pear, if you wish)

Crisp Mixture

  • Coconut oil cooking spray
  • 1/4 cup raw walnuts
  • 1/4 cup raw pecans
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon plus more for sprinkling
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted and cooled
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8 x 8” baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a food processor, pulse together the walnuts, pecans, almond flour, ground flaxseed, coconut, and cinnamon a few times to create a mixture with a rough, crumbly texture.
  • In a medium sized bowl, stir together the coconut oil, honey, and vanilla. Transfer the nut mixture to the bowl, and mix well with a silicone spatula to combine.
  • Lay the pear halves cut-side up in the prepared baking dish. Feel free to leave the stem on one of the pear halves if you wish (this provides more of a rustic appearance). Also, pro tip: I like to cut a small slit at the bottom of the pear halves to allow them to easily lay flat in the baking dish.
  • Divide the nut topping between the pears, sprinkle with additional cinnamon, and spray once more with coconut oil.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, until the pears are tender, and the topping is golden brown and fragrant. Let cool for five minutes before serving. Hope you love it!
