Can you believe that these are a sweet dessert that are completely dairy free, gluten-free, and vegan? These are our Oven Baked Stuffed Pears and your guests are going to love how sweet and flavorful these are. The best part about these are how simple they are to make - all you need are pears, oats, ghee/butter, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and maple syrup. They are all pantry staples that you would have already besides the pears - making your life even easier.
When we were planning this menu we wanted to ensure we not only made most of the meals allergen friendly, but seasonal. Pears are in season so you can expect these to be even sweeter or fresher than normal. Please feel free to make these for your guests or for yourself one night you feel like having something sweet but want something easy to make. Also, you can pair the pears with French vanilla ice cream if you'd like - the warm and hearty flavor of the baked pears pairs perfectly with ice cream. Let's get to the recipe!
