Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best pears for baking?

When I’m baking pears, I almost always reach for Royal Riviera, Bosc, and Anjou Pears. They bake well and provide the best texture. Be sure to use a ripe pear, which means there will be some give, but they should not be mushy.

What granola works best in this 4-ingredient Baked Pears recipe?

Your favorite granola. I love to make my own granola… my favorites for topping pears are Breakfast Granola and Cranberry Granola.

What can I serve these baked pears with?

I like them plain but you can serve them with plain or Greek yogurt to stick to the healthy theme. Vanilla ice cream our pouring cream would also be great!

Ingredients 

  • 2 large ripe pears
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 2/3 cup granola
  • optional yogurt or frozen yogurt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Half the ripe pears and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Lay them on a baking sheet. You might want to slice a sliver off the back of the pear so that it lays flat if necessary.
  • Sprinkle the top of the pears with cinnamon, then top with your favorite granola; store-bought or homemade. Then drizzle the pear and granola with honey.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the pear is soft. Let them cool before serving. I like to add a dollop of my favorite yogurt too.

Use your favorite granola. I love to make my own granola… but if you want to make it really simple, add your favorite store-bought granola to the top. These baked pears will be just as delicious!
