30 Vegan Pear Recipes That Will Wow Your Taste Buds

Pears are so yummy and can be eaten in many ways, from pizza toppings to a cake flavor. Try these vegan pear recipes today.

Introduction

I just moved to an acreage less than ten minutes away from my parents’ place, and it has a huge pear tree with a bunch of juicy pears. Unfortunately, the former owner didn’t treat the tree with pesticides this year, so the pears were buggy. In other words, the pears didn’t stay good for long. Even as a vegan, growing produce successfully without a bug treatment is hard.

While making plans for next year’s garden and additions to the orchard, I found some tasty vegan pear recipes worth trying, including but not limited to the following.

Chocolate Pear Cake
Baked Pears
Pear Ginger Muffins
Butternut Squash, Pear, and Chili Oil Pizza
Ginger Orange Cheesecake With Poached Pears

If you have any favorite pear recipes, please tell me them in the comments.

1. Chocolate Pear Cake

Chocolate is one of my favorite cake flavors. If you like it too, try this chocolate pear cake from Vegan on Board.

Here are more vegan cake recipes.

2. Baked Pears

I’m not that into baked fruit, but many people enjoy it. Have some baked pears, thanks to Minimalist Baker.

3. Pear Ginger Muffins

Muffin and cupcake recipes almost look the same because muffins are sometimes super sweet and have frosting, while some cupcakes are very fruity and lack frosting.

No matter how you differ cupcakes and muffins, have some pear ginger muffins from Woman in Real Life. If you have nothing better to do with your free time, try making these vegan breakfast recipes.

4. Butternut Squash, Pear, and Chili Oil Pizza

Who likes pizza? Then try some butternut squash, pear, and chili oil pizza from ShortGirlTallOrder.

Thanksgiving will be here before you know it, meaning we need to practice some pie baking before the big day. One idea is making this chai pear pie from The Almond Eater.

I learned that crumble got its name because you top crumbles with crumbs. Try this pear almond crumble recipe from Heartful Table.

Salads make great side dishes and main courses no matter the season. For example, make this kale pear salad from Darn Good Veggies.

Poaching food is to prepare a dish by simmering it in a bit of liquid. Have some poached pears from The Well Fed Yogi.
