Mmmmm.....Muffins.....

I promised I'd post the recipe, so here it is:

· 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
· 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
· 1 tablespoon baking powder
· 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

· 1 cup chopped pear
· 1 cup whole bran cereal
· 1 cup skim milk
· 1 egg
· 1/4 cup olive oil
· 2 tablespoons finely chopped almonds
· 2 tablespoons finely chopped crystallized ginger

Directions

1. Stir together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add pear, stirring to coat. Stir together cereal and milk; let stand 5 minutes. Stir in egg and oil; add to pear mixture, stirring just until moistened.

2. Spray 14 to 16 muffin cups with nonstick spray coating, or line with paper bake cups. Spoon batter into cups, filling 3/4 full. Sprinkle with nuts and crystallized ginger. Bake in a 400 degree F oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until done.

Makes 14 to 16 muffins.
