• 1 1/3 cups brown rice flour
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup quinoa flakes
• 10 tablespoons cold unsalted dairy-free margarine, cut into small pieces, more for the baking dish

• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 pounds firm Forelle or D'Anjou pears, peeled, cored and cut into 1-inch chunks
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine brown rice flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and quinoa flakes. Using fingers or two knives, blend in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
