Pear and Apple Cardamom Ginger Muffins

By Kathy_Hester

There's not an easier breakfast than grabbing a muffin on your way out of the door. Make these on a Sunday night and you have breakfast taken care of all week! Plus muffins are the perfect way to use up the leftover fruit in your fruit bowl.

Ingredients

• dry ingredients:
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
• 1/2 cup quinoa flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• wet ingredients:
• 2 tablespoon ground flax mixed with 4 tablespoons warm water
• 1 cup unsweetened nondairy milk
• 1/4 cup agave nectar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/8 teaspoon stevia
• 1 cup diced peeled apple (about 1 medium)
• 3/4 cup diced peeled pear (about 1 medium)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare a muffin tin by either spraying with oil or use muffin liners.

Mix the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and set aside.

Mix the wet ingredients in a smaller bowl and then pour the wet ingredients in the dry. Mix thoroughly and divide the batter to fill the 12 muffins.

Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. You can freeze these and heat them up right before serving if you don't think you'll eat them all.
