2 pears

2 tablespoons frozen unsweetened pineapple juice concentrate

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon rum

1 tablespoon butter

1/8 cup Ener-G Brown Rice Flour

1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar

½ cup oat bran flakes

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Treat 9″ × 13″ baking dish or large flat casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Core and cut up pears; place in baking dish. (Except for any bruised spots, it's okay to leave skins on.)

  • In glass measuring cup, microwave frozen juice concentrate for 1 minute. Stir in vanilla and rum; pour over pears.

  • Using same measuring cup, microwave butter 30–40 seconds, until melted; set aside.

  • Toss remaining ingredients in bowl, being careful not to crush cereal. Spread uniformly over pears; dribble melted butter over top. Bake for 35 minutes, or until mixture is bubbling and top is just beginning to brown. Serve hot or cold.
