Muffin Mania: Pear Muffins!

What do you do with a pair of pears? haha!! Okay…but seriously I had a couple of pears getting soft in my fridge, so I made some pear muffins!

• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup butter melted then cooled
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• cinnamon (I didn’t measure, maybe 1-2 tsp.)
• 2 pears peeled and chopped

Mix the first 5 ingredients and in a separate bowl mix the dry ingredients. Mix the chopped pears with the cinnamon, then mix everything together.

Bake in greased muffin tins at 350 for 10-15 min. or until done.

I got 12 mini muffins plus 8 regular sized muffins out of this batch. If you make mini muffins, they don’t need as much time in the oven.

PS – I got the idea of pear muffins from this almond pear muffin recipe, which I followed loosely.
