Meet the Cook: If you're looking for a good "brown bag treat", try these. I also make them for breakfast and at-home snacks. Usually, I'll bake a double batch so we can eat some hot from the oven and pop the others in the refrigerator to heat later.

FRESH PEAR-ALMOND MUFFINS



Fresh Pear-Almond Muffins image

I came up with this recipe in an attempt to use up some pears before they went bad. I really like what I came up with mainly because it's not super complicated and there aren't any other competing flavors with the pears. The other ingredients are delicate and allow the pears to stand out. With all that being said, please note that these measurements are approximations... Enjoy!

Steps:

Tips:

  • For a sweeter muffin, use ripe pears and add an extra tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the batter.
  • If you don't have almond flour, you can make your own by grinding almonds in a food processor until they are finely ground.
  • To make the muffins gluten-free, use gluten-free flour instead of all-purpose flour.
  • For a vegan version of these muffins, use flax eggs instead of regular eggs. To make a flax egg, combine 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water and let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
