I love baking with pears! I really think they are a bit underestimated and outshined by apples. Don’t get me wrong, Im a huuuuge fan of apples. But I also really love baking with pears. Pears provide a wonderful moist, texture and a delicious sweet taste to baked goods. These pear crumble bars are a good example on what to bake with pears. They are both easy to make, almost require no effort from your end and are both healthy and super delicious at the same time. I really love the delicious sweetness pears add to baked goods. Therefore I didn’t only use pear pieces in these bars, but also made a pear purée (don’t get scared now, you only need to add a pear to a high speed blender and mix for one minute) that I added to the batter. Since I used both pears and apple sauce as sweetener in these bars there’s almost no stevia in these, and the amount of stevia sugar can be adapted according to how sweet you prefer your pear bars. These bars are really great to serve both for breakfast, afternoon snack or dessert. They are both vegan, gluten and refined sugar free.
A few tips:
- Use a sweet pear variety when making these bars.
- The pears should be ripe and quite soft. But not too ripe or soft. Because then the pear purée will become too watery a make the bars too wet.
- The pear purée can be replaced by more apple sauce, but that will result in the bars tasting less like pears.
- When dicing the pears make sure to make quite small dices, about the size of a pinky nail.
- Let the pear crumble bars cool completely and let them set before slicing them.
