Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: British
Serves: 6-8
Ingredients
500 grams of pears peeled
50 gr coconut flour
100 gr coconut sugar
50 gr coconut oil
1 tsp gluten free baking powder
4 eggs
vanilla
Instructions
Pre-heat the oven to 170C.
Cut your pears into quarthers or eighths depending on their size. Place into a baking dish. (I used a ceramic one)
In your food processor, mix the oil and sugar together. Mix well
Add the eggs and vanilla. The mixture will be very liquid.
Add the coconut flour and baking powder.
Pour the mixture over the pears and place in the oven.
After 10 minutes the oil will have separated from the other ingredients. Mix everything back together again and leave to bake.
Baking time is approximately 30 minutes. This will depend on your oven. It will have risen like a standard cake and be a lovely golden brown when ready. Check that the mixture is set with a skewer or tooth pick.
Serve warm.
