Description
Stuffed pears baked with a spiced nut butter filling. Serve solo or with oatmeal, yogurt, or ice-cream for a protein packed breakfast, snack, or dessert!
Ingredients
- 3–4 pears
- 1/4 cup nut butter (I like using Nuttzo for this!)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 TBSP maple syrup + more for topping
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon + more for topping
- 1/4 cup granola (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and dry 3-4 pears, then slice them in half. Scoop out the seeds and core with a cookie scoop and place cut side up on the baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix together the nut butter, protein powder, almond milk, maple syrup, and cinnamon.
- Divide the mixture between the pears and fill each hollowed center with a big spoonful. Top the center with a drizzle of maple syrup and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
- Bake the pears for 30 minutes, or until they’re very tender and gooey.
- Allow pears to cool slightly, then serve immediately with a spoonful of granola. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 3-5 days and reheat before serving.
