Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup/180g oat flour
  • ½ cup + 2 tbsp/75g white rice flour not glutenous
  • ½ cup + 2 tbsp/125g light brown sugar
  • 7 tbsp/105ml coconut oil melted
  • 2-3 tbsp/30-45ml water
  • ¾ tsp/3g baking powder
  • 1 tsp/2g ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp/ ½ g ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp/3g salt
  • 1/3 cup/35g rolled oats
  • 1 lbs/450g pears*

Method

  1. Grease and line an 8” x 8”/20 x 20cm baking pan with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350° F/175C.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flours, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, ginger, and nutmeg. Stir to combine.
  3. Add the coconut oil and stir until a crumbly mixture forms.
  4. 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.
  5. Slice pears into ¼”/6mm or thinner slices.
  6. Set aside 1/3 of dough in a smaller bowl.
  7. Press the remaining mixture into pan. Pat into an even layer.
  8. Place pears in an even layer on the base.
  9. Add the oats to 1/3 of the dough mixture. Working between your fingers to crumble (no larger than a pea).
  10. Sprinkle the crumble on top of the pears as evenly as possible.
  11. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden on top.
  12. Cool in pan for at least 20 minutes before removing and allow to cool completely before cutting and eating.
  13. 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.
