Maple Baked Pears with Walnuts & Peanut Butter
Author: Healthy Cooking Daily
Recipe type: Gluten Free Dessert
Serves: 8
- 4 ripe pears (I used Bosc-use your favorite variety)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 6 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts
- 8 tablespoons maple syrup, divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter or almond butter
- Preheat oven to 375°
- Cut the pears in half and remove the core/seeds (a grapefruit spoon works great) and arrange face up on a baking dish.
- Evenly distribute the lemon juice over the pears, then fill the cores with the walnuts.
- Mix together 6 tablespoons of the maple syrup and vanilla and drizzle inside the core and over the pears.
- Sprinkle with the pumpkin pie spice.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until desired doneness. I like them on the soft side so I usually leave them in at least 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of maple syrup along with the peanut/almond butter.
- Serve warm as is, or with a dollop of yogurt or ice-cream!
- Enjoy!
