- 1/2 cup (120 ml) all-purpose gluten-free flour
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) packed light-brown sugar
- 1/3 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) sugar
- 3 1/2 tbsp vegan butter, chilled
- 2 tbsp ground flax seeds
- 1 cup (240 ml) ground pecans
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) gluten-free oats
- 4 lbs (1800 g) pears, sliced into 1/2-inch chunks
- 1 cup blackberries
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) almond milk
- 1 tsp freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1/2 tsp fresh orange zest
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- Plain non-dairy yogurt, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, mix together the gluten-free flour, light-brown sugar, and salt.
- Cut the vegan butter into the flour mixture using your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the flax seeds, ground pecans, and oats to the flour mixture and continue to mix with your hands until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, toss the sliced pears and blackberries with the orange juice, maple syrup, orange zest, almond milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until the fruit is evenly coated.
- Spread the fruit mixture evenly in a baking dish.
- Sprinkle the flour and oat mixture over the fruit, covering it completely.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Top with plain non-dairy yogurt if desired.
Notes
- For a nut-free version, substitute the pecans with sunflower seeds.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat before serving for the best texture.
