Ingredients
  

Spiced Pear Butter
  • 8 Asian pears sliced and cored
  • 1 1/2 tsp cloves
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3/4 cup honey (or substitute sweetener of choice if vegan)
  • 1 lemon juiced
Oat Milk Pancakes
  • 1/2 cup semolina flour
  • 2 1/2 cups flour (I use Italian grade 00 flour, but all-purpose will work great too).
  • 3 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup spiced pear butter
  • 3 cups oat milk (barista blend)

Method
 

Spiced Pear Butter
  1. Combine all ingredients into a slow cooker. Cook for 10-12 hours overnight.
  2. In the morning, pulse pear mixture in the blender for a smoother product. Some pear varieties release a lot of water and the mixture may need to be reduced for 20-30 minutes over low heat on the stove to thicken.
Pancakes
  1. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix gently.
  2. Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes before cooking on the griddle or in your waffle maker. The batter can even be made the night before and rest in the refrigerator overnight.
