Parfaits are a delicious treat any time of the year, but we think the warm, spiced flavors in this caramelized pear parfait make it extra perfect for winter months! Anjou pears offer a subtle sweetness and great nutritional benefits that make it perfect for breakfast.
Ingredients
- 1 Anjou Pear
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar or coconut sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup of your favorite yogurt (vanilla or plain yogurt works best in this recipe!)
- ¼ cup of granola
Directions
- Begin by cutting your pear into small pieces, roughly ½ inch in size.
- Next, take out a small stovetop pan and heat over low - medium heat. Add a tablespoon of butter and let that melt for about 30-60 seconds.
- Once the butter has melted, add cinnamon and brown sugar to the pan with the butter, and just give everything a quick mix with a spatula.
- Add your pears to the pan and let them cook for 3 minutes. At this point, the butter and sugar mixture may become a little thicker - totally normal!
- After the first few minutes, turn the pears with the spatula and let them cook for another 3 minutes.
- Continue lightly moving the pears around in the pan for another minute or so as they start to caramelize.
- Remove pears from the stove and add them over top of your yogurt and granola. Enjoy!
