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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the applesauce, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract, and whisk the wet ingredients until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to mix everything together gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Fold in the diced pear and 0.5 cups of the granola, leaving some granola aside for topping.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining granola over the tops of the muffin batter for added crunch.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Enjoy your Pear and Granola Muffins as a quick breakfast, healthy snack, or post-workout treat!
