Pear and Chocolate Chip Muffins

Make these amazing Pear and Chocolate Chip Muffins for breakfast - great with a cuppa and a bowl of fresh fruit

Are you fed up of cake and muffin recipes that use artificial ingredients, well look no further - these Pear and Chocolate Chip Muffins are just yummy!!

I had two super ripe pears in my fruit bowl that needed to be used, so figured I'd make some muffins for the kids.

Thinking of pear, I just had to add dark chocolate chips - two things that go together perfectly.

Because I was making these for the kids too, I wanted to use all good natural ingredients, so opted for maple syrup to sweeten. If you are happy to use sweetener, then of course you can replace the maple syrup from the entire recipe. I recommend using sukrin if you are going to do that, as it has no aftertaste.

The kids really loved these and I loved being able to have a proper muffin.

I baked them in these super cute decorated muffin cases. That are similar to these below (and come in various different colours):

It meant the baking tray stayed nice and clean and there was no need to wash the tray after - bonus!!

These Pear and Chocolate Chip Muffins are Super handy for breakfasts when in a rush. On their own they are not going to be hugely filling, but served with some fruit too, they are perfect. If you want some protein for breakfast, you could boiled some eggs the night before and have those too.

But don't limit these Pear and Chocolate Chip Muffins just to breakfast, they are delicious as a dessert too with some yoghurt and fresh fruit - yum!!

These are also perfect for freezing once cooked, so you don't need to be tempted to eat more than you should. Just take one out and defrost when you want one.
