Ingredients
  • 2 ripe pears
  • 3 tablespoons whole rolled oats*
  • 3 tablespoons chopped walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons gluten-free oat flour or almond meal
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Small grating of fresh nutmeg (about ⅛ tsp.)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1½ tablespoons hardened coconut oil
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the oats, flour, walnuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. Use your fingers or the back of a fork to crumble in the hardened coconut oil until it's incorporated but still crumbly.
  4. Grease the bottom of a 6" skillet (or similar sized ramekin) with coconut oil. Add the pears and sprinkle the crumble on top.
  5. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the pears are soft but not mushy.
  6. Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Make ahead tip: Mix the dry ingredients together in advance. When you're ready to bake, just mix in the coconut oil, chop the pear, and assemble.

*If you're sensitive to gluten, make sure your oats and oat flour are certified gluten-free.
