Pears
- 2 pears (ripe if possible), cut in half
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup granola
Topping
- 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons honey
- Zest of 1/2 lemon
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (vanilla will work)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat your oven to 190 degrees.
- Add the halved pears onto a tray lined with baking paper.
- Use a spoon to scoop out any seeds in the centre and lay the pears skin side down.
- Drizzle the honey over the top of the pears and sprinkle with cinnamon and granola.
- Place them into the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl add the yoghurt, honey, lemon zest, and almond/vanilla extract. Whisk until combined.
- Remove the pears from the oven and add a big dollop of your yoghurt topping mix to the top of the baked pears.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
