Instructions
-
Position rack in lowest level of toaster oven and preheat to 350 °F. Toss pears, orange zest, ginger, cardamom, pepper, 1/4 cup cranberries, 3 Tbsp. brown sugar, 2 Tbsp. flour, 2 Tbsp. butter, and 1/4 tsp. salt in a large bowl until pears are coated. Scrape into an 8x8" glass baking dish.
-
Using an electric mixer on medium-low speed, beat oats, vanilla, and remaining 3/4 cup flour, 2/3 cup brown sugar, 8 Tbsp. butter, and 1/2 tsp. salt in a medium bowl until mixture just comes together (it will resemble a crumbly cookie dough), about 2 minutes. Add almonds and remaining 1/4 cup cranberries and mix on low speed until just incorporated.
-
Evenly sprinkle crumb mixture over pear mixture. Cover loosely with foil and bake 40 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until filling is bubbling and topping is browned, 15 –20 minutes more.
-
Serve crumble topped with scoops of ice cream, if you'd like.
Why this Cranberry-Pear Crumble works for PCOS
Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Cranberry-Pear Crumble works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
