Method
Grease and line an 8” x 8”/20 x 20cm baking pan with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350° F/175C.
In a large bowl, combine flours, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, ginger, and nutmeg. Stir to combine.
Add the coconut oil and stir until a crumbly mixture forms.
Add in 2 tbsp/30ml water and stir until thick and pliable (but not gloopy). Allow to sit for 5 minutes to absorb the water.
Slice pears into ¼”/6mm or thinner slices.
Set aside 1/3 of dough in a smaller bowl.
Press the remaining mixture into pan. Pat into an even layer.
Place pears in an even layer on the base.
Add the oats to 1/3 of the dough mixture. Working between your fingers to crumble (no larger than a pea).
Sprinkle the crumble on top of the pears as evenly as possible.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden on top.
Cool in pan for at least 20 minutes before removing and allow to cool completely before cutting and eating.
Will store in a sealed container in the fridge for a couple days, but will not be as crisp.
Notes
*Bartlett or d’anjou varieties are best, no need to peel before slicing.
