Pear and Choco Chip Muffins

Like I have said before I love fruits in baked goodies and that day when I had a couple of extra pears at home I decided to bake some muffins from it but when it comes to muffins I can hardly resist the flavour of chocolate in them. So I thought I will try and adding some choco chips to it too and the result was really nice and yummy muffins filled with the goodness of both pear and chocolate

What I used

• Whole wheat flour  – 1 cup
• All purpose flour – 1 cup
• Sugar – 2/3 cup (I like it a little less sweet increase if u like it more sweet)
• Dark Choco Chips – 1/2 cup
• Pear – 1 large cored and chopped (I didnt peel it, u go ahead and do it if the peel bothers u)
• Baking Powder – 1.5 tsp
• Salt a pinch
• Cinnamon powder – 1 tsp
• Dry Ginger powder – 1/2 tsp
• Buttermilk – 1 cup
• Egg – 2 large
• Oil – 2 tbsp

How I made it

• Combine both the flours, baking powder, salt, sugar, cinnamon powder and ginger powder together. Add the chopped pears and choco chips to it and mix a little
• In a separate bowl, beat eggs, buttermilk and oil together.
• Mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients until just combined
• Pour the mixture in muffin trays and bake in a preheated oven at 180C for about 15 mins till the skewer comes out clean
• Serve warm

And u know the best part of these muffins my darling little son helped me bake them
