    This Vegan Pear Crumble is a gluten-free and single-serving, crisp recipe that is indulgent enough for dessert, and nourishing enough to have for breakfast.

    I have been so wrapped up in pumpkin season, that I put apples and pears on the back burner. I've been whipping up batches of Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, Vegan Pumpkin Spice Layer Cakes and even Vegan Banana Pumpkin Bread.

    This Gluten-Free Vegan Pear Crumble is the perfect single-serve dessert for Fall!

    But lest we forget about pears! They are sweet, floral and juicy and each variety has something special and different about it. So, today let's make a single-serving Vegan and Gluten-Free Pear Crumble.

    Ingredients

    You only need SEVEN ingredients to make this recipe. Here is what they are:

    Pear: I recommend Bartlett or Bosc.

    Maple Syrup: For a little extra sweetness.

    Cinnamon: Adding a little cinnamon makes this gluten-free pear crisp taste like Fall!

    Lemon Juice:A bit of lemon juice to balance the flavors and bring out the sweetness of the pear.

    Cornstarch: To thicken the filling. The pear juice will cook out of the pear and combine with the cornstarch to create a luscious sauce.

    Oats: I love an oaty crumble topping and this one is simple and tasty.

    Nut Butter: Any nut butter will work, here. I used peanut butter but almond butter, cashew butter or even tahini will all be great!

    Instructions

    This Vegan Gluten-Free Pear Crumble recipe is quick and easy, as all single-serving recipes should be.

    First, peel and chop the pear, then add it to a bowl with maple syrup, lemon juice, cornstarch and cinnamon and mix well.

    Now, add the oat mixture to the top of the pear mixture.

    Special Equipment

    You will need an 8-ounce ramekin or other similar oven-safe vessel to bake this Gluten Free Pear Crisp in.

    Expert Tips

    Be sure that the pear is ripe! If the pear is not ripe, it won't have much flavor.

    Storage

    To store this Gluten Free Vegan Pear Crumble, allow it to cool, then cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

    I do not recommend freezing this recipe.

    Equipment

    • 1 Cutting Board
    • 1 Knife
    • 1 Small Mixing Bowl
    • Measuring Cups and Spoons
    • 1 8 Ounce Ramekin or similar size oven proof dish

    Ingredients
      

    For the Pear Filling

    • 1 Medium Ripe Pear I recommend Bartlett or Bosc
    • 1 ½ tsp Maple Syrup
    • 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
    • 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
    • ¼ teaspoon Cinnamon

    For the Oat Topping

    • ⅓ Cup Gluten-Free Rolled Oats
    • 1 tablespoon Nut Butter see note
    • 1 ½ teaspoon Maple Syrup
    • ¼ teaspoon Cinnamon

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 350* F
    • Peel, core and dice the pear into ½ inch cubes. Place into a small bowl.
      1 Medium Ripe Pear
    • To the pears, add maple syrup, lemon juice, cornstarch and cinnamon. Stir together gently with a spoon until combined.
      1 ½ teaspoon Maple Syrup, 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice, 1 teaspoon Cornstarch, ¼ teaspoon Cinnamon
    • Transfer pear mixture into an 8 oz ramekin or similar sized oven safe vessel.
    • In a small bowl, make the oat topping by combining oats, nut butter, maple syrup and cinnamon. Stir with a spoon until the mixture is well combined.
      ⅓ Cup Gluten-Free Rolled Oats, 1 tablespoon Nut Butter, 1 ½ teaspoon Maple Syrup, ¼ teaspoon Cinnamon
    • Add the oat mixture on top of the pear mixture. Its okay if the oat-topping domes over the top. Gently press the oat mixture with the palm of your hand so it sticks together atop the pears.
    • Place ramekin on a baking sheet and bake in a 350* F oven for 30 minutes. The top should be golden brown and the pears should be bubbling.
    • Serve warm.

    Notes

    Use whatever nut butter you have on hand: peanut butter, cashew butter, almond butter or tahini.
    To store: allow the crumble to cool, then cover and place in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
