Almond Pear Muffins
SUBMITTED BY:
Frances Finegan
"I always bake muffins on the weekends and freeze them for breakfasts or snacks during the week. I take a few out in the morning, and they thaw by the time I get to work."

DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. In another bowl, beat the eggs, yogurt, milk, oil and extract. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in pear and almonds.

These are more like little cakes. In itself not a bad thing but not quite a satisfying texture for muffins. They're dry and bland.

This was alright. It was a little bland. Increasing sugar by 1/4 cup and spices to your liking might help. The almond pieces are also rather hard compared to the soft texture of the muffin.

These muffins have a delicate flavor and are not too sweet--the texture is not dense but made moist by the pieces of pear. I liked that the spices did not overwhelm the muffin so that I can taste the pears and the almond flavoring. But if you like spicier and sweeter muffins, add more cinnamon and sugar. I followed the recipe except for cutting the almond extract to 1/4 tsp, but I will probably use 1/2 tsp next time. I loved them Frances, thank you for sharing.
