Whole Wheat Pear Muffins

Muffins with pears! This is what my friends said with I told them as they were enjoying it. These are made with ripe pears and whole wheat flour, these muffins are healthy and delicious.  These are prepared for the Blogging Marathon.

Ingredients

2 Eggs
1 Cup Fresh Yogurt
1 Cup plus 2 Tbsp light brown sugar
1/3 Cup Vegetable oil
2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour
1 1/2 Teaspoon Baking powder
1/2 Teaspoon Baking soda

1/8 Teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon Vanilla essence
2 large Pears -  peeled, cored and diced
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon powder

Method

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

Grease the muffin cups with oil or butter.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, a cup of the brown sugar, and oil until smooth. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the dry ingredients into the bowl with the egg mixture. With a wooden spoon or spatula, gently mix together just until combined. Add the vanilla and diced pears and mix again. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, dividing it evenly among the cups. 

In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 2 Tbsp brown sugar and the cinnamon.  Sprinkle this mixture on top of the batter in each muffin cup. Bake the muffins about 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. I wish you could smell these muffins in my kitchen right now. 

Cool the muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then unmould and cool them the rest of the way on a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.  I got 18 muffins.

These muffins are delicious! The crunchy topping is a perfect and soft. Enjoy these muffins for breakfast with a glass of cold milk or a steaming cup of coffee or anytime you feel like a snack.

Notes:
Use ones that are just starting to go soft and juicy. These will hold their shape during cooking and will dissolve in your mouth.

Eggless Cantaloupe Muffins / Musk Melon

February 8, 2014

Cantaloupe Muffins is one of my experiment that turned out awesome. This is a Egg free, Vegan muffins made using whole wheat flour and fresh Cantaloupe Puree. Cantaloupes or Musk Melon are low in Saturated Fat and Sodium, and very low in Cholesterol. It is also a good source of Dietary Fiber, Niacin, Vitamin B6 and Folate. It is also a very good source of Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Potassium. Its always good to consume the fruit as such fresh way but once in a while can also make such delicious bakes with such healthy fruits or veggies.Last week I went with my friends to the APMC Market at Vashi and we picked many types of fruits at wholesale rates and shared it among us. Cantaloupe was one of them each of us got 3 each. Now what do I do with so many melons so I Google and found this recipe, the original recipe is here. These muffins turned out so good. I made some changes in this recipe. I used Jaggery and cinnamon which is not used in the original recipe.
These Muffins were soft, moist and delicious. Loved the muffins, The next day the muffins were soft, my hubby and friends loved it. This jaggery my friend Sweety brought from Himachal. Do give these muffins a try and you will not regret making them. Now to the recipe.

Ingredients

All Purpose Flour                        1/2 cup
Baking Powder                             2 tsp
Baking Soda                                  1 tsp
Ground Ginger                             1/2 tsp
Ground Cinnamon                      1/2 tsp*
Unbleached Sugar/Jaggery      1/2 cup*
Salt                                                   1/2 tsp
Cantaloupe Puree                        2 cups (I used )
Vanilla Extract                              1/2 tsp
Oil                                                     2 tbsp
Walnut                                             1/4 - 1/2 cup 

Preheat Oven to 180 degrees C for 10 mins. Line Muffin pan with paper liners or grease pan with oil or cooking spray and keep ready.
Wash cantaloupe well and cut into two half and remove the seed portion and scoop out the pulp and blend it to a smooth puree and measure 2 cup and keep aside.
In a large mixing bowl add all dry ingredients i.e. flours, baking soda, baking powder, ground ginger, salt and mix well.
In another bowl combine cantaloupe puree, oil, jaggery and vanilla extract. Now incorporate the dry ingredients and mix well. Pour into the muffins pan and bake.
