Sometimes things run away with you , and this weeks post was never the intended one for this week
But its just to good not to share immediately !!
On my usual trail through the depths of Instagram i came across an new product , Granola Butter !!!! Yep its a thing and its made by Oat Avenue
So order I did , both the Original and the Chocolate π
What A revelation and if you are in the UK you lucky lucky people !!
Don’t worry if you cant get it overseas , you can use tahini or any other nut butter you require just add two tablespoons of sugar to it for this recipe !!
Now the recipe a delicious Pear Tart with beautiful shortcrust crumble case ….
A little bit autumnal but me being the frugal type managed to get my hands on some reduced pears ππ for ever the bargain hunter !!
Now I’ve give the option of a nut free version of the pastry here and it works a treat , but seeing theirs no one now at home adverse to nuts i went with almonds in my bake
But as with all my recipes there are always way and means to devise a recipe that will suit the intolerant needs
This bake is good old rustic , family baking , there is ‘Granola’ in the title so I’m guessing you could class it as breakfast π
So lets crack on you really need to get this made ( After if you can have ordered your butter …. no affiliation just love the product )
