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.
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.
Then, pour the pear mixture into an 8oz ramekin.
Next, make the oat topping by combining oats, nut butter, maple syrup and cinnamon and stirring until completely combined.
Now, add the oat mixture to the top of the pear mixture.
Finally, bake!
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.

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