Baked Pears with Ginger & Oat Crumble

A lighter, simpler crumble. Halved pears baked with a ginger-spiked crumble topping. The pear stays soft and juicy underneath.

Ingredients (Serves 2):

• 2 ripe pears, halved and cored
• 30g rolled oats
• 20g ground almonds
• 1 tbsp melted coconut oil
• 1 tsp maple syrup
• ½ tsp ground ginger

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Place pears cut-side up in a dish.
2. Mix the oats, almonds, oil, syrup, and ginger. Pile onto the pears.
3. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and tender.

Why it's gut-friendly: Pears are rich in soluble fibre. Oats and almonds are prebiotic. Ginger is anti-inflammatory.
