¼ cup walnut pieces
¼ cup raw cocoa powder
2 tbsp. chia seeds
2 tbsp. flax seeds

4 cups of assorted frozen or fresh fruit
1 cup rolled oats
½ cup whole wheat flour
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup Earth’s Balance Buttery Spread
1 tbsp. cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss fruit with cinnamon and pour into non-stick 8x8 baking pan. Combine oats, flour, sugar, and butter substitute. Pour over fruit, and pat down gently to form crust. Bake for 45 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes, then serve hot.
6 organic pears (not overly ripe)
2 tbsp. raw cane sugar
2 tbsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. cloves
Organic plain soy yogurt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Core pears and cut in half. Place a small amount of water into a baking pan, so that it is about ½ deep. Place pears in baking pan, meat-side up (skin-side down). Combine sugar, cinnamon, and cloves. Divide evenly, and sprinkle mixture over each pear. Bake for 30 minutes. Turn oven to broil, and cook pears for another 5 minutes, or until tops begin to brown. (Keep an eye! The sugar burns fast.) Remove from oven, and let cool slightly. Fill cavity with a dollop of soy yogurt and serve immediately, 2 halves each.
