CINNAMON BAKED PEAR

Cinnamon Baked Pear is a simple yet flavourful dish that highlights the natural sweetness of pears. It is enhanced by warm cinnamon and crunchy walnuts. Baking softens the pear, intensifying its sweetness while releasing its delicate aroma. The addition of cinnamon adds a cosy, spiced touch, while chopped walnuts provide a delightful crunch. This dish is perfect as a light dessert, a healthy snack or even a breakfast option. Unlike traditional baked desserts, this dessert contains no refined sugars and is naturally sweet, making it a wholesome alternative for those looking for a guilt-free indulgence. It’s easy to prepare with minimal ingredients, requiring just a short bake time for a deliciously warm and fragrant result. This baked pear is a must-try for anyone who enjoys simple, nourishing foods, whether served alone or paired with a dollop of yoghurt or a drizzle of honey.

TIPS

These tips should be followed to enhance the taste of Cinnamon Baked Pear during preparation:

  • Choose Ripe But Firm Pears: Overripe pears may become too mushy when baked. Bartlett, Anjou or Bosc pears work best.
  • Even Baking: If the pears are not standing upright, place them in a small ramekin or muffin tin for support.
  • Add Moisture: If your pears are on the drier side, brush them lightly with a teaspoon of melted coconut oil or butter before baking.
  • Enhance Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter flavour, drizzle with honey or maple syrup before serving.
  • Pair With Yoghurt: Serve with Greek or coconut yoghurt for a creamy contrast.

VARIATIONS

  • Nut-Free Option: Swap walnuts with pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds for a nut-free option.
  • Spiced Version: Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger for a warming spice blend.
  • Chocolate Drizzle: Melt dark chocolate and drizzle over the baked pear for a dessert-style variation.
  • Crunchy Topping: Add a sprinkle of granola before serving for extra crunch.
  • Caramelised Pears: Bake with a drizzle of coconut sugar or maple syrup for deeper caramelisation.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
  • Freezing: Freeze baked pears in a sealed container for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat before serving.
  • Meal Prep: Make multiple servings in advance and store them for quick and easy desserts throughout the week.
