Hands-down, the best muffins I have ever made. It's like eating a pancake in your hand.
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup home-made applesauce (this is the secret part)
1/2 grapeseed oil (canola oil is fine too)
2 eggs
1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
1/2 cup sour milk or 1/2 cup buttermilk
2 cups chopped ripened peeled pears
1 cup pecan pieces
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit, and spray a jumbo muffin pan with non-stick cooking oil.
2. Whisk all wet ingredients together : the maple syrup, eggs, sugar, applesauce, yogurt, and sour milk.
3. Stir in the pears and pecan pieces.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients : flour, salt, and baking powder.
5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients carefully, until just mixed.
6. Scoop into a dozen muffins (they will be huge in a regular pan but I got away with it).
7. Bake on centre rack, rotating every 15 minutes, for around 30-50 minutes, depending on what pan size you're using.
8. Wait 5-10 minutes before removing or they'll crumble! Enjoy! You now have a muffin that tastes and feels like a delicious pancake!
