Ingredients
- 2 each Bartlett pears
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup granola
- 1/2 cup fat free vanilla Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Cut pears in half. Using a large or medium cookie scoop or melon baller (or a regular spoon), core out the seeds.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly spray a large baking pan or line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange pears, facing up, in/on the prepared baking pan/sheet. Sprinkle evenly with cinnamon.
- Whisk together the maple syrup and vanilla extract. Drizzle all over the pears.
- Bake uncovered for about 25 minutes, or until soft and lightly browned on the edges. If your pears were quite firm, you may need to extend the bake time.
- Remove pears from the oven.
- Serve warm and garnish with 2 tbsp yogurt and 1 tbsp granola per each pear half when serving.
Notes
Chef’s Tip: You can use honey, brown sugar or agave for maple syrup. You can swap Greek yogurt with any vanilla yogurt, ice cream, or whipped cream.
