Pear Muffins

Fresh Pear Muffins!

I am still swimming in a sea of fresh pears! I am slowly working my way through them one-by-one making pear chips, canning pears and now making these delicious muffins.

This recipe doesn’t use a lot of pears and I was a bit hesitant to stop all the canning and dehydrating to make muffins. But I love muffins. It is my excuse to stop and enjoy a cup of coffee and have a bite to eat. These muffins are definitely worth making.

These muffins are super light with very mellow flavors. Pears are very light in flavor and adding a touch of cardamon is just the right spice to match the pears.

What Ingredients are needed for Pear Muffins?

• Fresh Pears
• Flour
• Sugar
• Salt
• Cardamon
• Egg
• Vegetable oil
• Sour Cream
• Vanilla

Can I use canned pears in these muffins?

I used fresh pears when making these muffins, however canned pears work too. If using canned pears, drain pears and pat dry with a paper towel before using.

• Raspberry Lemon Muffins
