Healthy Baked Pears with Honey, the perfect fall breakfast or even dessert in just 5 ingredients! This recipe is super easy to make and embodies the flavors of fall with cinnamon and cardamom.
Fall to me involves baking lots of goodies from Pumpkin Dark Chocolate Chip Muffins to various fruits like these Healthy Baked Pears with Honey. Not only are these baked pears super easy to make but a healthy alternative for breakfast or dessert. Paired with nonfat plain Greek yogurt you get a healthy portion of low fat protein with subtly sweet honey, cinnamon and cardamom flavors baked right into the pears.
While trying to incorporate lots of protein into my diet every day it can get very monotonous. The protein smoothie for breakfast every day gets a bit old, that is why I love this recipe it’s high protein when paired with Greek yogurt, low fat with a subtle sweetness.
What are the best pears for baking you ask?? I used Anjou pears for this recipe but Bosc pears work well too. Both types of pears have a delicate texture when baked and taste divine!
So bake up some delicious Baked Pears with Honey for a healthy breakfast or dessert alternative and savor the flavors of fall in a healthy way!
Enjoy!
