Healthy Pear Crisp Recipe
What’s so healthy about this pear crisp with oats? And would we recommend it for weight loss? We would say this is a pretty healthy pear crumble recipe. It’s got plenty of pears in it for starters, so it is a tasty way to get some of your five a day. Pears are full of antioxidants and fibre, and contain no fat or cholesterol, so a healthy pear recipe is a great thing to incorporate into your diet. You could also try our baked pears, or, if you are feeling adventurous, our savoury pear soup. Furthermore, our recipe includes a side of low fat greek yoghurt, which adds a load of much needed protein! Greek yoghurt also contains plenty of calcium and probiotics, for a healthy gut, among other benefits. We chose Greek yoghurt specifically because it is lower in sugar than other yoghurts, as it undergoes a straining process which removes some of the sugar lactose! For a savoury alternative use of Greek yoghurt, try them as an accompaniment to these lentil patties or sweetcorn fritters. A healthy breakfast crumble like this one can be incorporated into any weight loss plan. Check out our vegetarian weight loss course if you want more veggie recipes for weight loss!
How to make a vegan/gluten free pear crisp
This pear crisp recipe would work with lots of different fruits! If you can’t find any good fresh pears, you could try it with frozen fruits – maybe forest fruits, or peaches for example. You could also make it with apples, strawberries or blackberries.
Get Vegan With It
If you want to make this a vegan recipe, then swap butter for coconut oil ( or your favourite plant-based butter!) and Greek yoghurt for plant-based yoghurt! If you want to make it gluten-free, then you can replace the flour with more oats and pulse them down to an oat flour, or pick another gluten free alternative. The dough will keep for up to two days in the fridge, so it’s a good idea to make some in advance for future use. We hope you enjoy this delicious pear breakfast recipe (why not try these 400 calorie breakfasts for more great starts to your day!)!
