Ingredients:
- 600g peeled, cored, and cubed firm pears (Anjou or Bosc)
- 8g cornstarch
- 25g maple syrup
- 1g ground cinnamon
- 60g dark chocolate chunks (70% cocoa)
- 90g rolled oats
- 65g almond flour
- 50g cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 25g coconut sugar
- 1g fine sea salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, toss the cubed pears with maple syrup, cinnamon, and cornstarch until every piece is evenly coated.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chunks gently and transfer the mixture into a 9-inch baking dish, spreading the pears evenly.
- In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, coconut sugar, and salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter and use fingertips to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse, wet sand with a few pea-sized lumps.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the pears, pressing down very lightly.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes until the fruit is bubbling around the edges and the topping is a deep, mahogany-gold color.
