Ingredients
  

  • 1 large pear, about 1 cup or 150g (5.3 oz), cored and peeled
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) maple syrup
  • ¼ cup (30 g / 1.06 oz) coconut flour
  • 1 teaspoon (3 g / 0.11 oz) ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon (1 g / 0.04 oz) ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon (0.5 g / 0.02 oz) ground cloves
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 g / 0.09 oz) baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon (1.5 g / 0.05 oz) salt
  • Use a very ripe, sweet pear like a Bartlett or Anjou for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Coconut flour is extremely absorbent. Do not substitute it 1:1 with other flours and let the batter sit for a minute after mixing to allow it to thicken before spreading.
  • For an extra crunch and flavor, fold in ¼ cup of chopped pecans, walnuts, or paleo-friendly chocolate chips into the batter before baking.
  • Store cooled blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F / 175°C and line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to easily lift the blondies out later.
  3. In a food processor or high-speed blender, pulse the cored and peeled pear until it forms a smooth puree.
  4. Add the eggs, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup to the pear puree.
  5. Blend again until the wet are smooth and fully combined.
  6. Add the coconut flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, baking soda, and salt directly to the food processor. Pulse just until the batter is combined. The batter will be thick, so be careful not to overmix.
  7. Scrape the batter into your prepared pan and use a spatula to spread it into an even layer.
  8. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon on top, if desired.
  9. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out with the parchment paper and cutting into 6 squares.
