These muffins just might be my all time favorite!  They are moist and flavorful!  Yum!  They have a lot of ingredients, but don’t let it fool you.  They are really quick to mix up!

Ingredients

  • 2 medium pears, peeled, cored and cubed (about 1/2 inch)

  • 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice

  • 2 teaspoons sugar

  • 1 cup featherlight flour

  • 1/2 cup brown rice flour

  • 1/2 cup almond flour

  • 3/4 cup sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 2 eggs

  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted

  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 1/2 cup light sour cream

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375º. 
  • Peel, core and cube pears and place in a microwave safe bowl.  Add lemon juice and the 2 teaspoons sugar.  Microwave on high for 4 minutes, until pears are very soft.  Smash the pears with a potato masher, but leave small chunks.  Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, add flours, sugar, xanthan gum, baking powder and salt.  Mix until combined. 
  • In another bowl, beat eggs with a fork and add melted butter, milk, sour cream, vanilla and almond extract.  Add wet ingredients and pears to dry ingredients.  Stir until combined.
  • Fill greased, or paper-lined muffin cups about 3/4 full.  Bake at 375º for 16 – 17 minutes.
