Pear & blueberry muffins
This recipe cost me a lot of money in ingredients since it took me several tries, but it was definitely worth the investment!
At first, I wanted to make blueberry & orange muffins. They tasted amazing, but I found the orange was a little overpowering. I really wanted the local blueberries to be the star of the show. I thought about using pears, which I originally puréed to replace the milk in my recipe. Again, it tasted good, but I found that the texture wasn’t quite right and I wanted some juicy pear chunks in it. Here’s the result of my hard work.
Enjoy these muffins with a coffee in the morning, at night, or even in the afternoon for a little comfort food.
I just had one while I was relaxing in my bath, which would have been a great idea, if only I didn’t have a dinner to go to in half an hour. 🙂
