I decided to defy sensibility by delaying my no-bake series for another week, because this past weekend was the hottest of the summer. Yes, instead, I cranked up the oven and started baking with fall in mind as evident by the pear tart you see in the picture.
See what I mean about defying sensibility? To take it step further, I decided to go gluten free with this one. Which of course really had Matt questioning, “What’s going on here?”
Nothing other than just, you know, the regular switch up when I start to feel things getting stagnant around here. So don’t worry, I’m not going gluten-free, I just happen to really love this recipe I developed for a girlfriend of mine who is gluten free.
And as for the two differently styled pictures—well, I was struggling, but that quickly ended when I dropped the tart. Nothing like a forced finish.

Love that you used pears! Such an under-appreciated fruit I find. And yes, super hot in San Diego this weekend too! And I baked as well 🙂
ThisBakerGirlBlogs says
Pretty hot in the UK as well but nothing can keep me from baking! Lovely pears and an even lovelier tart! 🙂
Tahnycooks says
I did the same thing here in this post Lemon Pound Cake.
http://tahnycooks.com/?p=845 I dropped it. Grrrr, it happens! And it’s a bummer!
This tart looks fabulous! My good friend is also gluten free, I can’t wait to show her this delicious recipe! Thanks!

Sommer @ ASpicyPerspective says
Lovely tart! And the dropped corner and pieces only add to the beauty and authenticity of the photos! 🙂
Kevin (Closet Cooking) says
That looks good! I am looking forward to the pears!
Ashlyn (Pedantic Foodie) says

Gaby says

Ash-foodfashionparty says

jamie @lifelovelemons says

Katrina @ Warm Vanilla Sugar says
This is so pretty! Lovely tart!
Brian @ A Thought For Food says
I’m not sure what I love more… the crust or the filling. It’s all just amazing.
Maria says
Gorgeous and I love that it is gluten-free!
Laura (Tutti Dolci) says
I love pear desserts and this one’s a beauty!

Anna @ Crunchy Creamy Sweet says
Beautiful tart, Naomi! The pears photo is stunning!
Tracy | Peanut Butter and Onion says
I am always on the look out for gluten free treats.. thanks for sharing, this looks incredible
marla says
Gorgeous GF tart!!
Phi says
I always has that one friend that was gluten-free that I secretly wished would stop. I’m a (terrible) selfish baker.
Jami says
This looks amazing! I don’t need it to be gluten free, but we are nut-free here. How would I convert it to using regular flour? I’m neutral on the coconut flour if I can find it, which would surprise me where I live.
Ann says
Ohhhh wow!! Looks so good! I don’t need it to be gluten free. Would you have the regular recipe. I would love to make this.
Stephane Aarseth says
Since Naomi loves it so much she continues to make it (even though it’s gluten-free and she’s *not* gluten intolerant) maybe you’ll love it too–as developed. You ought to give it a try! 🙂
Roxana | Roxana's Home Baking says
I could smell the fall a few weeks ago and with all the rain we had the last couple of days I’m so ready for this season. Pear desserts are a favorite of mine, more than apple and your tart looks fantastic (even after dropping it!)
Sandy Coughlin says
This is almost too beautiful to eat! Love having a gluten-free option for gluten-free guests that come over. I’ll try this one at my next dinner party!
Shanna@ pineapple and coconut says
Your husband is funny. Mine sees anything I bake and says ” Have you take pics yet? Because I am eating it if so.” I hit the food bloggers husband jackpot – he eats it ALL no questions asked. I LOVE the Turquoise background in the first pic – I know you use it a lot, what material is it?
Sylvie @ Gourmande in the Kitchen says
This is right up my alley, I love that you’re using coconut flour!
Naomi Robinson says
Hi Monique- I have 13-year-old Kitchen Aid. That’s when Kitchen Aid outfitted their food processors with a Robot Coupe motor. The newer ones, I have tried and like you, wasn’t totally pleased with it.
The one I will mostly likely purchase when the old KA dies is a MagiMix. It’s outfitted with a Robot Coupe motor.
Nami | Just One Cookbook says
Always love pears in baked goods rather than eating fresh pear as it is. Beautiful photography, Naomi!
Laura Dembowski says
This looks awesome! I can’t believe it’s gluten free!
Victor says
This is the most awesome site I ever seen, just like my http://www.beddinginn.com all make people’s life better. Yes, life is cool, we got to find every reason to live it meaningfully every day.
SuzieQ says
I tried this recipe using coconut oil. The result was tasty but very dry. Would increasing the coconut oil to help? Thank you for an excellent blog!
Wendy says
Can honey be used instead of sugar?
