Warm baked pear with cinnamon, creamy yoghurt and crunchy walnuts for a naturally sweet snack.
Pears provide fibre, including pectin, while walnuts contribute unsaturated fats and plant-based omega-3 fatty acids. Yoghurt adds protein and may provide live cultures depending on the variety.
Method
- 1 Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- 2 Halve the pears lengthways and use a teaspoon to scoop out the cores, leaving a small hollow in the centre of each half.
- 3 Arrange the pear halves cut-side up in a small baking dish and sprinkle the cinnamon evenly over the cut surfaces.
- 4 Bake for 18–20 minutes until a knife slides easily into the flesh but the pears still hold their shape rather than collapsing.
- 5 While the pears are still warm, top each half with a spoonful of Greek yoghurt, walnuts and chia seeds — the warmth of the pear softens the yoghurt slightly.
- 6 Add a small drizzle of honey if using and serve while still warm.
