Prepare the pears: Wash and dry the pears. Cut each pear in half lengthwise. Using a small spoon or melon baller, carefully scoop out the core and seeds from each half. Place the pear halves cut-side down on a cutting board and slice them thinly, about 1/8-inch thick.

Create the caramelized base: In a 10-inch non-stick frying pan with an oven-safe handle (or a pan suitable for covering with a lid), add the coconut oil and 1/4 cup of sugar-free maple syrup. Heat over medium heat until the coconut oil is melted and the mixture is gently simmering, forming a syrupy glaze.

Arrange pears: Carefully arrange the thinly sliced pear pieces in a circular pattern on the bottom of the pan, overlapping slightly, to cover the entire surface. Ensure the pears are coated in the coconut oil and maple syrup mixture. Cook for 3-5 minutes, allowing the pears to soften slightly and caramelize.

Add pancake batter: While the pears are cooking, prepare the pancake batter according to the package directions for 4 pancakes. Pour the prepared pancake batter evenly over the arranged pears in the pan, completely covering them.

Cook: Place a lid on the frying pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 7-10 minutes, or until the pancake is golden brown on the bottom and cooked through. You can check for doneness by gently lifting an edge or by inserting a toothpick into the center (it should come out clean).

Invert and serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the lid. Using oven mitts, place a large serving plate upside down over the frying pan. With a swift and confident motion, carefully invert the pan onto the serving plate so that the caramelized pear side faces upwards. Be cautious of hot syrup.

Garnish: Place a generous dollop of Greek yogurt or whipped cream in the center of the pear pancake. Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the yogurt/cream and across the pancake. Drizzle additional sugar-free maple syrup over the entire dish, as desired.

Enjoy: Cut the pancake into slices and serve immediately while warm.
