Honey Pear Muffins
Honey Pear Muffins! These lightly sweetened muffins are perfect for breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup whole-wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- large egg
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2/3 cup unsweetened milk of choice
- 1/3 cup neutral oil of choice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups finely diced pears
- 1/3 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with paper cups or lightly spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl whisk together the flours, baking powder, salt, baking soda, ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon until just combined.
- In a separate mixing bowl, stir together the egg, honey, milk, oil and vanilla extract until just combined.
- Add the wet mixture to the flour mixture and stir to combine, then gently fold in the chopped pears, oats and walnuts trying not to over mix the batter; stir until just combined.
- Spoon the mixture into the muffin cups, filling them 2/3s of the way (about 1/4 cup).
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean and tops are golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a cooling rack.
Notes
For a yummy bakery-style muffin, I like to mix a little brown sugar, rolled oats and chopped walnuts and sprinkling on the muffins before baking.
