How to make GF Almond Pear Muffins

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 12 muffin cups with liners or lightly grease them.

Whisk almond flour, brown rice flour, potato starch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground ginger, and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Set aside.

In a medium bowl beat the egg. Add cubed and peeled pears, milk, butter, and honey. Mix until well incorporated.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones. Mix well.

Pour the mixture into the prepared pans. Fill the muffins 3/4 full, dividing as evenly as possible.

Bake for 25 minutes or until cooked.

Let cool before removing.

Storing

Store the muffins in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.

You can freeze them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. To reheat frozen muffins, microwave for about 20 seconds or bake for 5-10 minutes in a medium oven (350°).

Variations

• Fruit: you can replace pears with apples.
• Spices: feel free to spice the muffin as you taste, with cinnamon, nutmeg, and so on.
