I based this one on an Apple Strudel Muffin recipe at All Recipes and modified it just a bit. They're very moist and perfect for breakfast or as a snack. I've made them twice this week!
Pear Streusel Muffins
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup coconut oil3/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups diced pears
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 12 cup muffin pan.
- Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
- In a large bowl, beat coconut oil, sugar and eggs until smooth. Stir in vanilla and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Add diced pears, then gradually blend in the dry ingredients. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan.
- In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, flour and cinnamon. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over tops of muffins in pan.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow to sit in pan for 5 minutes before removing. Cool on a wire rack.
Any other suggestions for pear recipes?
I was drooling just reading the title of this post!!!! Sounds like a easy and yummy recipe!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, wow!!! I am so excited for this! I LOOOOVE pears! (Maybe more than apples!)
ReplyDeleteI'm currently obsessing over a healthier Honey Fig Clafoutis recipe. If it turns out at all, I'll blog about it, and I'm SURE you could do pears in it, instead. Sounds so fancy & is SO EASY!
This looks really yummy - wonder if my hubby would try them?? Hmm....
ReplyDeleteYum! I'll have to give these a try! Thanks for sharing. And they must be good if you've made them twice this week! I'll be looking for pears at the grocery store.
ReplyDeleteSues,
ReplyDeleteHope that does turn out - sounds like it would be delicious! I've never cooked with figs, but maybe I should give them a try.
Have a great weekend!
I'm picking up 1/2 a bushel of pears today. I'll have to give this recipe a try.
