Baked Pears

Don’t get bogged down by heavy, overly repeated holiday desserts. Our warm and toasty stuffed pears, lightly coated in real maple syrup, make for a feel-good holiday dessert that is easily customizable for any palate or craving.

Ingredients

  • 4 pears
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 cup dairy-free vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup granola
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup cranberry
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp water

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375.
  2. Wash pears, cut in half and scoop out the core in each half.
  3. Brush the pears in a light coating of maple syrup and place on a baking sheet and roast for 20 - 30 minutes, until pears appear to be slightly squishy, but still hold their shape.
  4. While roasting, combine cranberry, maple syrup and water in a small saucepan and simmer on low, stirring often, until a thick syrup is formed.
  5. Once pears are done roasting, remove from the baking sheet and let cool. Fill each hallowed out pear with peanut butter.
  6. Toss a handful of granola, and chia seeds, and cranberry reduction over all of the pears and enjoy with a serving of non-dairy vanilla ice cream.
