Pear + Yogurt = Good Muffins!

I had a pear lying around and some yogurt in the fridge so I decided to make muffins! I love the soft texture from the yogurt and the walnuts added just the perfect crunch. These are PERFECT for a quick breakfast or snack!

Ingredients: (6 muffins)


1/2 c granulated sugar
1 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp Chai Spice Blend
1 medium pear diced
1/4 c chopped walnuts
1 large egg
1/2 c yogurt
1/4 c (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted


Prep:


1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease or line 6 muffin cups.


2. Whisk together sugar, flour, baking soda, salt and spice blend in a medium bowl. Add diced apples and walnuts, tossing to coat. Whisk together eggs, yogurt and butter in a small bowl. Gently fold the liquid mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. Divide batter among muffin cups.


3. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, until muffins are brown around edges and spring back when touched. Remove muffin pan to a rack to cool for about 5 minutes. Then, turn out muffins onto the wire rack.
