Is there anything better than apple and pear season? I don’t think so (ok, maybe apple season). They are so dear and near to my heart, and I try to have them as often as I can between the months of October and always 🙂 I mostly have these for breakfast alongside a grain (like oatmeal or steel cut oats) and maybe a dollop of yogurt on top, but you can include them as a simple after-dinner no-added-sugar dessert. These cinnamon and pumpkin seed baked pears baked pears just make everyone happy.

Baked To Bring Out Their Natural Sweetness

There’s no need to sweeten then, as they’re sweet enough. But baking them brings them to the very next level, concentrating their sweetness and intensifying the flavor. They’re naturally floral, too, which is a flavor aspect that I love (just pick up a raw pear and smell it, you’ll know what I mean).

The textures of soft baked pear with crunchy pumpkin seeds are surprisingly delicious yet so simple. They could not be easier to make, and yet they feel special and decadent. Perfect for a cozy cool morning with your favorite cup of tea. Nobody needs to know they’re only 4 ingredients!

Benefits of Pears

Did you know pears are one of the oldest cultivated fruits by man? According to this article, “pears have been used as a traditional folk remedy in China for more than 2000 years because of their reported anti-inflammatory, antihyperglycemic, and diuretic activities.” They contain potassium, fiber, and are a good source of Vitamin C. They’ve also been reported to maintain their antioxidant amounts when stored properly for up to 8 months. So enjoy your fall harvest all through out the cool winter months.
