LUNCHBOX HARVEST MUFFINS



Lunchbox Harvest Muffins image

These diminutive muffins make the rotation at least twice a week in my daughter's lunchbox. Although they are filled with plenty of good-for-you ingredients (whole-wheat flour, olive oil, apple and grated vegetables), they are moist and just sweet enough to ensure that they don't end up coming back home, which is the sad fate of many a salami sandwich.

HARVEST SPICE MUFFINS (APPLE-PEAR SPICE MUFFINS)



Harvest Spice Muffins (Apple-Pear Spice Muffins) image

With an abundance of quickly ripening pears on the counter, and with a crowd of hungry little people to feed, I came up with these tender, lightly sweet, and surprisingly healthy muffins! They passed the Picky Sibling Test with flying colors. I modified a basic apple muffin recipe from a Pennyslvania bed and breakfast, making changes to make the muffins healthier and more unique. I hope you like them too! I used a mixture of apples and pears (two small Bartlett pears and one very small Pink Lady apple), but you could use just apples if that's all you have available. I also used white whole wheat flour (ground from white wheat), which is lighter than regular whole wheat (ground from red wheat). It has the exact same nutritional value but is not as strong-flavored or "heavy," so try it if you can find it!

Time 50m

Yield 20 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 eggs
1 cup low-fat milk
1/2 cup olive oil or 1/2 cup canola oil
2 cups diced unpeeled pears, and or 2 cups apples
3 cups white whole wheat flour
1 cup sucanat
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Whisk together eggs, milk, and oil until completely blended.
  • Stir in diced fruit.
  • Combine remaining ingredients in separate bowl.
  • Add dry to wet ingredients and stir just until blended.
  • Let batter sit for 15-20 minutes: this is optional, but I think it makes the muffins rise higher. (You could also let the batter sit after you divide it into the muffin cups, instead of before.).
  • Divide batter between 20 greased muffin cups and bake at 400 for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown on top.
  • Serve warm with a drizzle of honey!
