Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cups Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
- 0.33 cups Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Pear (ripe, peeled, and diced)
- 0.75 cups Granola (low-sugar, plain or lightly sweetened)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the applesauce, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract, and whisk the wet ingredients until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to mix everything together gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the diced pear and 0.5 cups of the granola, leaving some granola aside for topping.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Sprinkle the remaining granola over the tops of the muffin batter for added crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Enjoy your Pear and Granola Muffins as a quick breakfast, healthy snack, or post-workout treat!
