Pear and Chocolate-Chip Muffins Recipe
Occasionally I have some fresh pears left over that my kids do not fancy eating in their lunch boxes. I hate to see good food go to waste though (I am constantly telling my kids about how much effort a farmer goes to just to get this fresh fruit on our table) so I often use over ripe fruit in my cooking. A little bit of apple of pear in a stew or roasting pan is normally a lovely addition.
This recipe is a great way to use fresh pear in your baking. Just peel and dice 1-2 fresh pears and they can go straight into the mixture. This recipe makes a delicious after school snack or even an occasional lunch box treat and like all muffins, they are best eaten straight out of the oven.
- 2 cups of SR Flour
- ¾ cup of sugar
- 1 cup of chopped, peeled pear
- 1 egg lightly whisked
- ¾ cup of buttermilk
- 1 cup of melted butter
- 1 cup of dark chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius and grease or line a 12 capacity muffin tin.
- Combine the dry ingredients (except the chocolate chips) together in a mixing bowl and stir until just combined.
- Add the cooled, melted butter and then the buttermilk and egg.
- Stir lightly and add in the pear and chocolate and store until just combined.
- Spoon into tin and bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
- Enjoy
You can freeze these muffins or store in a sealed container in the fridge.
Enjoy your weekend and happy eating.
