FreeFlourish Gluten-Free Paleo Cinnamon Spiced Baked Pears with Walnut Crumble ingredients

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
Wash the pears and slice each in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the core and seeds to create a small cavity in each half.
In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Place the pear halves cut side up in a baking dish.
Brush each pear half evenly with melted coconut oil, then drizzle with maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the pears.
In another bowl, mix together the chopped walnuts, almond flour, coconut sugar (if using), and a pinch of sea salt.
Generously sprinkle the walnut crumble mixture over each pear half, pressing lightly so it adheres.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pears are tender when pierced with a fork and the crumble is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm.
Serve on their own or with a dollop of coconut yogurt or your favorite paleo-friendly breakfast side.
