- 1
Mix the rolled oats with peanut butter and cinnamon until you get a sandy texture.

In oven-safe dishes, add diced pears, some nuts, chocolate, and cover everything with the crumble mixture.

Bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 190°C.
đĄ Pro Tips
- âDice pears to 12-15mm cubes and toss with 1 tablespoon lemon juice per 3 pears 10 minutes before assembly to prevent enzymatic browning and maintain tartness that balances chocolate richness.ingredient12-15mm cubes, 1 tbsp lemon juice per 3 pears
- âWork peanut butter into oats at 18-20°C (cool room temperature) using a fork for 2-3 minutes until 60-70% of mixture resembles breadcrumbs; warmer butter won't create distinct crumble texture and will bake into a dense cake layer.technique18-20°C, 60-70% breadcrumb consistency
- âChop chocolate into 8-10mm pieces rather than using chips so it melts gradually during the 20-minute bake (melting point 40-45°C for dark chocolate) instead of seizing, and distributes evenly throughout pear juices.ingredient8-10mm pieces, 40-45°C melting point
- âIncrease oven temperature to 200°C and reduce bake time to 18 minutes because pear moisture content (84-88%) will create steam that escapes; this prevents the crumble topping from becoming soggy and maintains crispness.timing200°C for 18 minutes (vs. 190°C/20 minutes)
- âToast nuts separately at 160°C for 6-8 minutes before adding to crumble so heat-sensitive oils develop flavor compounds without burning during the longer bake with moist pears.timing160°C for 6-8 minutes (pre-toasting)
