Instructions
How to Make Warm Pear Greek Yogurt Bowl
- Cook the Pear Halves: Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the cored pear halves cut-side down and sear for 3–5 minutes until the edges turn golden brown and begin to soften.
- Caramelize with Cinnamon & Honey: Flip the pears over, drizzle with 1–2 teaspoons of honey, and sprinkle with ground cinnamon. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until fork-tender and fragrant. (If your pear is firm, add a splash of water and cover with a lid for 1–2 minutes to steam-soften). Transfer both pear halves to a plate.
- Toast the Skillet Granola (Same Pan!): In the same skillet over medium-low heat, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and the rolled oats. Toast for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly until lightly golden and nutty.
- Finish the Granola: Stir in the hemp seeds, chia seeds, honey, cinnamon, and optional pinch of salt. Sauté for another 1–2 minutes until sticky and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool for 2 minutes to crisp up.
- Assemble the Bowl: Spoon 3/4 to 1 cup of cold Greek yogurt into a shallow serving bowl. Arrange both warm caramelized pear halves on top and scatter the crunchy skillet granola over the yogurt. Drizzle with extra honey or almond butter if desired, and enjoy immediately!
Notes
One-Pan Breakfast Magic
Cooking the pear halves and skillet granola in the exact same non-stick pan saves time and leaves you with only one pan to wash! Single-Serving Design
This recipe is specifically formulated for 1 satisfying single-serve breakfast bowl using both pear halves and the entire portion of skillet granola. High-Protein Vegan Option
To make this 100% plant-based, use unsweetened high-protein plant yogurt (such as soy, almond, or coconut Greek-style yogurt) and swap the honey for pure maple syrup. Pear Ripeness Tip
A ripe, slightly soft pear caramelizes quickly in 5–6 minutes. If using a firm pear, add 1 tablespoon of water and cover the skillet with a lid for 2 minutes to steam-soften the fruit.
