Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain yogurt

  • 1 ripe pear, peeled, cored, and finely diced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease them.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, mashed bananas, finely diced pear, honey, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all the ingredients are incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick and lumpy.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  7. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Serve and enjoy!
