Baked Pears with Homemade Pumpkin Spice Granola
Ingredients (Serves 4)
For the baked pears:
• 4 ripe but firm pears (Bosc or Anjou work great)
• 1-2 tsp pumpkin spice (or cinnamon)
• Optional: 1-2 tbsp maple syrup or honey for extra sweetness
• A squeeze of lemon juice
For the homemade pumpkin spice granola:
• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• ½ cup chopped nuts (pecans, almonds, or walnuts)
• ¼ cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
• ⅓ cup maple syrup or honey
• 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
• 1½ tsp pumpkin pie spice (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves)
• Pinch of salt
• Optional add-ins: ¼ cup dried cranberries or raisins after baking
For the coconut cream topping:
• 1 can (14 oz) full-fat coconut milk, refrigerated overnight
• 1-2 tbsp maple syrup or powdered sugar (optional)
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
• Make the granola first (can be done ahead):
• Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Mix oats, nuts, seeds, spice, and salt in a bowl.
• Stir in maple syrup and coconut oil until everything is coated.
• Spread evenly on the sheet and bake 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden and crisp. Let cool completely (it crisps up as it cools).
Bake the pears:
• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Halve pears lengthwise, scoop out cores with a spoon (leave stems for looks if you want).
• Place cut-side up in a baking dish. Sprinkle with pumpkin spice, drizzle with maple if using, and a bit of lemon juice.
• Bake 25-35 minutes until soft and caramelized (time depends on ripeness).
Whip the coconut cream:
• Scoop out the solidified cream from the chilled can (save liquid for smoothies).
• Whip with a hand mixer or whisk until fluffy, adding sweetener and vanilla to taste.
Assemble:
• Place warm baked pear halves on plates.
• Sprinkle generously with pumpkin spice granola.
• Dollop or pipe on the coconut cream.
