Ingredients




1/3 cup Maple Syrup
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup Almond Flour
1/4 cup Brown Rice Flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup Coconut Oil
5 anjou pears, sliced (I like them with skins on)
3/4 cup dried fruit (my favorite is a combination of diced apricots and Craisins)
1/2 cup shelled pistachios
1 tsp Russian Mulling Spice

Preparation

1 Optional - Roast sliced pears in a 425 F oven for 25 minutes.  Allow to cool. 2 Preheat oven to 350 F. 3 Lightly grease an 8 inch baking pan. 4 In a large bowl, combine syrup, oats, flour, salt and oil. 5 Mix until crumbly. 6 Spread the fruit and nuts evenly in the greased pan. 7 Sprinkle with Russian Mulling Spice and top with crumb mixture. 8 Bake in the preheated oven for 40min, or until golden brown.

By mid day a heat wave of 15 f had taken hold.  The outdoors is beckoning.  Charlie and I are off to climb a mountain.  But before we go this winter treat hits the oven.
