These are delicious, quick, and healthy desserts. They're great for breakfast with a big dollop of vanilla Greek yoghurt. You can also add vanilla bean ice cream or maple-sweetened whipped cream.
– 4 D’Anjou pears or Gala apple – Scant ½ cup rolled oat – Scant ½ cup white whole wheat flour or regular whole wheat flour – ¼ cup turbinado (raw) sugar – ½ teaspoon cinnamon – ¼ teaspoon ginger – ¼ teaspoon nutmeg – pinch of salt – 2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons melted butter – 2 tablespoons plain or vanilla Greek yogurt – 2 teaspoons real maple syrup
Start by preheating the oven to 400 degrees and preparing a large baking pan, preferably one that measures 13 inches by 9 inches.
A paring knife should be used to carefully remove the cores from the pears and/or apples after they have been cut in half. Throw away the cores.
Mix all of the remaining ingredients together in a bowl of medium size. For a thorough mixing, use a large spoon.
Make a mound of dough by scooping approximately two tablespoons of dough onto each half of the pear or apple and then smushing it with your hands.
In order to achieve a golden colour on the surface, you should bake it for twenty-five minutes.
