30 Vegan Pear Recipes That Will Wow Your Taste Buds

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.

For inspiration, check out my vegan pizza blog post.

5. Ginger Orange Cheesecake With Poached Pears

I never thought of pairing pears with citrus fruit until I came across this recipe. Have this ginger orange pear cheesecake from Rainbow Plant Life.

6. Chai Pear Pie

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.

You may also enjoy my blog posts on vegan pie recipes and vegan Thanksgiving.

7. Pear Almond Crumble

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

8. Winter Kale Salad

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

9. Pear Grilled Cheese

As Rachael Ray reminds us on her talk show, you can make a grilled cheese sandwich with pretty much anything, even pears. Try this onion pear grilled cheese from The Viet Vegan.

I have more grilled cheese ideas in my plant-based Lent blog post.

10. Pear Persimmon Galette

Zucker&Jagdwurst has a decent amount of galettes on their vegan food blog. One is this pear persimmon galette recipe.

11. Pear Ginger Smoothie

I like diet-friendly blogs that provide different ways to make a recipe depending on your diet or eating preference. Try this pear ginger smoothie from One Lovely Life.

Here are more vegan smoothie recipes.

12. Poached Pears

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

13. Roasted Butternut Squash and Pear Soup

Even though I like butternut squash, I get a burning sensation every time I touch raw butternut squash, probably due to an undiagnosed food allergy or dermatitis.

Make some butternut squash pear soup from Walder Wellness. Here are more soup recipes.

14. Dark Chocolate Pear Turnovers

Arby’s chocolate turnovers are so good. Try these vegan dark chocolate pear turnovers from The Baking Fairy to make some turnovers at home.

15. Pear Crisp

My family loves a good and warm fruit crisp. If you do too, make this pear crisp from Veggie Chick.

16. Ginger Pear Donuts

The secret ingredient to this recipe is pears. Have these sweet ginger donuts from Namely Marly.

Cinnamon is a popular fall flavor. Try some cinnamon-baked pears from Jessica in the Kitchen.

Here are additional cinnamon recipes.

18. Pear Cobbler

There are more types of cobbler besides berry cobbler. Have some pear cobbler from Gourmandelle.

19. Stuffed Pears

If you’re into making stuffing for holiday gatherings, here’s the perfect recipe. Bake some pears with stuffing with the help of Cotter Crunch.

20. Hasselback Pears

Hasselbacking originated in Sweden to bake potatoes where the food gets cut into thin slices. Make some Hasselback pears from Anne Travel Foodie.

One of my favorite cookie flavors is oatmeal raisin. Make some oatmeal raisin bars from Plant Based Jess.

If you like flatbread pizza, here is a recipe suggestion. Try this tart recipe from The Viet Vegan.

23. Caramelized Pear French Toast

One of my peers shared Heywood Banks’ toast song in class, which seemed so stupid and annoying then, but now, I can see why it’s so catchy and fun.

While you get educated on your music, make this French toast recipe from So Vegan.

24. Pear and Cranberry Champagne Cocktail

Who has some fall or winter weddings coming up? One idea is making this pear cranberry champagne cocktail for the wedding reception from Minimalist Baker.

A lovely brunch idea is making some fruit bread and breakfast bake. One bread suggestion is this vegan pear bread from Vegan in the Freezer.

27. Pear-a-Sprite Parody Cake
