Rich Chai Spiced Poached Pears with Granola and Nut Butter

This season calls for combining warm flavours and filling your home with cinnamon scent throughout. Autumn is one of my favourite seasons, although wet, the idea of cosying up together, lighting candles as the darkness unfolds and enjoying hot dishes that keep the cold at bay, make me feel all warm inside.

We love a chai tea with almond/oat/hemp mylk, whatever we have to hand. That gave me an idea to soak some pears in the tea to have for pudding that evening. Safe to say they didn’t last that long as we had them for an afternoon snack and then again for pudding that same evening.

Add granola and nut butter or eat as is! Here is my recipe for granola.
