Ingredients

For The Pears

6 ripe pears peeled and chopped into chunks
1 juice of lemon
2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
1 tbsp corn starch

Crumble Topping

240 g rolled oats 3 cups ( I used gluten-free)
2 tbsp maple syrup
75 g unsalted butter (I use vegan)

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 180C. Peel and chop the pears into chunks roughly 2cm by 2cm.
To a large bowl add the chopped pears, lemon juice, corn starch and cinnamon and mix together and set aside.
Now to a blender add 160g (⅔ of the oats) to a blender and blend into a flour (takes 30 seconds).
Add this oat flour to a separate large mixing bowl along with the leftover 80g of whole oats, butter, maple syrup and mix together with your hands.
Simply add the pear mix to a large baking dish, top with the oat crumble topping and bake for 25 minutes at 180C

Substitutions & Variations: I have included a list of these in the post above.

To Store: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave.

Tip 1: Try some different fruits or fruit combinations throughout the year as different fruits come into season.

Tip 2: If your pears aren’t quite ripe enough, consider adding some sugar or maple syrup to taste.

Tip 3: This is best enjoyed right out of the oven, so try to plan your cooking times accordingly.
