The wonderfully creative and food connoisseur Sara W. was kind enough to share this yummy Paleo/Zone concoction. So if you are craving a sweet dessert, and have some fat blocks to spare, then check it out–totally DELISH!
Ingredients:
2 medium firm pear–preferably Bosc (4C)
1 tsp coconut oil (4F)
0.5 oz shredded unsweetened coconut flakes (6F)
Cinnamon (be generous, it's soooo yummy)
12 Crumbled pecans (4F)
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Quarter the pears lengthwise, and remove the cores and stems. Cut each quarter in half lengthwise. Arrange in a 9 by 9-inch nonstick baking pan.
Coat pears with the coconut oil to prevent them from drying out. Sprinkle on a generous amount of cinnamon, the coconut shavings, and crumbled pecans.
Bake until the pears are tender but not overcooked, 25 to 30 minutes.
This makes 2 desserts, each is 2C, 7F.
