PEAR & TOFFEE MUFFINS

These gooey muffins are delicious warm when the toffee is still melty - you can reheat them in the microwave

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Time 40m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

300g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon
85g golden caster sugar
250ml milk
2 eggs , beaten
100g butter , melted
2 ripe pears , peeled and cut into small chunks
100g soft toffee , chopped into pieces
25g flaked almond

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Line a 12-hole deep muffin tin with paper cases. Tip the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and a pinch of salt into a large bowl, then stir in the sugar. Mix together the milk, eggs and melted butter in a large jug and pour into the dry mix all at once, along with the pears and a third of the toffee pieces. Stir briefly until just beginning to combine - the batter should still be quite lumpy and have streaks of flour.
  • Divide the mixture between the cases, then sprinkle with the remaining toffee and the flaked almonds. Bake for 25-30 mins until the muffins are risen, golden and feel firm when pressed (the molten toffee will be extremely hot so be careful not to touch it). Remove from the tin to a wire rack to cool.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients beforehand: Measure and chop all your ingredients before you start mixing. This will make the baking process much smoother.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender muffin.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough, dense muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly: This will help to ensure that all of the muffins bake evenly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to tell if the muffins are done baking.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack: This will help to prevent the muffins from breaking.
  • Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature: Pear toffee muffins are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but they can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Pear toffee muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. They are packed with flavor, thanks to the combination of sweet pears, crunchy toffee bits, and a hint of cinnamon. These muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
