This mouthwatering pear crisp with oats is the perfect way to end a meal on a cool fall or winter evening. Tender slices of pear become extra succulent as they bake and taste heavenly beneath the crumbly topping made with rolled oats and pecans. A scoop or two of vegan pumpkin ice cream or vanilla nice cream is a great way to crown this cozy treat. Be sure to use ripe pears for this one!
Tips
Gluten-free version: To make this gluten-free, use oat flour or a gluten-free flour blend instead of whole wheat flour, and be sure to use certified gluten-free rolled oats.

(5 from 1 vote)What can I sub for 3 T white flour? Would oat flour work or whole wheat pastry flour?
Yes, you can! It did ask for white whole wheat flour which is still a whole wheat flour just not from red hard wheat.
