Ingredients
- 2 ripe pears, halved and cored
- 200g plain Greek yogurt
- 30g walnuts, roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp honey, divided
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp water
Instructions
Heat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Halve the pears lengthwise, scoop out the cores with a spoon, and brush the cut sides with lemon juice.
Place the pear halves cut-side up in a baking dish, add the water, sprinkle over the cinnamon, and drizzle with half of the honey.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly caramelised at the edges, basting once with the pan juices.
While the pears bake, stir the vanilla into the yogurt and chop the walnuts.
Remove the pears from the oven, let them cool slightly, then spoon the yogurt into the centre of each half.
Drizzle with the remaining honey, scatter over the walnuts, and serve warm.
Baked pears with Greek yogurt and walnuts is a warm, naturally sweet breakfast or light dessert — soft cinnamon-spiced pears roasted until caramelised, spooned with cool vanilla yogurt, crunchy walnuts and a drizzle of honey. Light, filling and ready in about 35 minutes.
