Harvest Spice Muffins (Apple-Pear Spice Muffins)

Harvest Spice Muffins (Apple-Pear Spice Muffins)

Time: 50 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup low-fat milk
  • 1/2 cup olive oil or 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 2 cups diced unpeeled pears, and or 2 cups apples
  • 3 cups white whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup sucanat
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

  • 1 Whisk together eggs, milk, and oil until completely blended.
  • 2 Stir in diced fruit.
  • 3 Combine remaining ingredients in separate bowl.
  • 4 Add dry to wet ingredients and stir just until blended.
  • 5 Let batter sit for 15-20 minutes: this is optional, but I think it makes the muffins rise higher. (You could also let the batter sit after you divide it into the muffin cups, instead of before.).
  • 6 Divide batter between 20 greased muffin cups and bake at 400 for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown on top.
  • 7 Serve warm with a drizzle of honey!
