Fall Muffins!

I day early, as Fall officially starts tomorrow at 10:49 am according to my co-worker...but at least you'll have time to prepare!

This is a great way to use up a few rogue pears that you have hanging around :) I think you could easily sub in walnut or pecans for butterscotch chips if you didn't have them handy.

Enjoy!

Butterscotch - Pear Muffins

½ cup vegetable oil
½ cup brown sugar
(I used a combo of splenda brown sugar blend & coconut sugar)
1 very ripe banana mashed
(I thaw out a frozen one in the microwave - very liquidy which is good)
1 tablespoon each of the following;
Baking soda
Baking powder
Cinnamon
Ginger
Vanilla
¼ to ½ cup butterscotch chips
2 small ripe pears peeled and chopped
1 cup flour (I used Bob’s Redmill gluten free blend)

Mix the oil, sugar, powders, spices and vanilla with mashed banana
Add flour ½ cup at a time, mixing well as you go.
When all flour is incorporated mix in chips and pear pieces.
This is a rather liquidy batter, if yours is not please add a few tablespoons of milk at a time until it is.
Spoon into prepared muffin tins (no liners) bake at 350F for 15 mins or until a toothpick comes out clean.
