GRANOLA MUFFINS



Granola Muffins image

Great muffin to make for breakfast or anytime. SUPER easy and the kids love it!! I tweaked another recipe that I found posted here...omitting some fat and adding a few other ingredients. They freeze well, too. I used Quaker Natural Granola with Oats, Honey & Raisins because that is what I had on hand. The slivered almonds are really yummy in the muffins. And, I also 'made' my own buttermilk by adding 3 tablespoons of lemon juice to regular skim milk before combining the wet ingredients.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
  • Use ripe pears: Ripe pears will be sweeter and have a more intense flavor than unripe pears. If you don't have any ripe pears on hand, you can ripen them by placing them in a paper bag at room temperature for a few days.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before serving: This will help them to hold their shape and will also make them easier to eat.

Conclusion:

These pear and granola muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack, give these muffins a try!
