CINNAMON & PEAR OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
• In a large bowl; add coconut oil, coconut sugar, egg and vanilla extract. Mix with a spoon, until well combined.
• Add to the same bowl, baking soda salt, cinnamon and whole wheat flour; mix until well combined. Stir in pear and oatmeal.
• With a large cookie scoop (I used 3 tbsp. capacity scoop), scoop out the dough and pat it into the scoop to form a firm cookie. Place onto prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2" apart. I put 9 cookies per baking sheet. Note: I used my fingers to pat the top of the cookie to flatten a bit and to make sure it is held together.
• Bake in oven for 10 minutes, until bottom of cookie turns lightly brown. Let cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes; place on cookie rack until completely cooled.

PEAR AND OATMEAL CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Peel, core, and thickly slice the pears. Toss them with the 2 tablespoons sugar and the cranberries and turn them into a deep, buttered 2-quart baking dish. The fruit should be at least 2 1/2-inches deep in the pan; add more fruit, if necessary.
• For the topping, in a bowl, stir together the flour, oats, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Drizzle in the melted butter tossing the ingredients with a fork to blend. Be careful not to over mix because you want a loose crumbly mixture, not a bound-together ball of topping. Sprinkle the topping over the pears.
• Bake for 30 minutes, until pears are tender and topping is browned. Serve warm with heavy cream or ice cream.

CINNAMON AND PEAR OATMEAL

Steps:

• Note: I also tested this recipe using canned pears in their own juice and think canned pears would be a suitable substitute for fresh.
• In a cast iron skillet on medium-high (depends on your range)heat dry roast the oatmeal and cinnamon for approximately 4-5 mintes. DO NOT burn. Remove pan from heat.
• In a saucepan combine the pear nectar with 3/4 cup water. Cook slowly over medium heat just until bubbles appear around the edges. DO NOT boil.
• Add the toasted oats, the grated pear, and salt. Cook mixture stirring constantly, until the oats are tender; about 10-12 minutes.
• Stir in the raisins just before serving.
• Top each serving with a dollop of yogurt.
