The week I experienced a windfall of 6 ripe pears, purchased for 25 cents a pound. Score! They have been the subject of my experimentation here. I'm sure you could use apples successfully in this recipe, as well. I'm really happy with the result!!
This recipe serves two. Hint: Serve with another source of protein... I like it with a smoothie. :)
Crumb Topping
2T brazil nut protein powder
1/2t cinnamon
Dash freshly-ground nutmeg
Pinch of salt
1t coconut oil
Combine dry ingredients. With a fork, mash in coconut oil.
Cake Batter
2/3c quinoa flakes
1/2t salt
1/2t baking powder
1t cinnamon
Dash of fresh nutmeg
1t vanilla
4 egg whites
1 pear, cored and diced into 1/2" cubes
Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease glass loaf pan with coconut oil. Combine dry ingredients. Add vanilla and egg whites and mix well. Swirl in half of crumb topping. Gently fold pear into batter. Using a rubber spatula, gently coax mixture into loaf pan. Sprinkle remaining crumb topping on top. Place pan in the oven. Bake cake a total of 30 minutes, and let sit in pan until mainly cool, 20 minutes. Enjoy!
