Baked these yesterday and was quite pleased with the result :bigsmile:

INGREDIENTS:

300g (2 metric cups) plain flour
1 tablespoon (20ml) baking soda
1 1/2 tsp (7.25ml) cinnamon, + extra
110g (1/2 metric cup) white sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
250ml (1 metric cup) milk
160ml (2/3 metric cup) light olive oil
2 pears, peeled, cored, & diced (~250g)

METHOD
1. Preheat oven to 200C (390F), or 180C (355F) fan-forced.
2. Mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and sugar together with a spoon.
3. Combine egg, milk, and oil in another bowl.
4. Fold bowl of wet ingredients gently into bowl of dry ingredients.
5. Fold in 2/3rds of the diced pears.
6. Spoon mixture into muffin pans, top with remaining pear and dust with cinnamon
7. Bake until golden (~13mins for me, but original recipe called for 20).

Makes 20.

I haven't tried making any substitutions to 'lighten up' this recipe, but if you wish to do so I can't vouch for the results. Just because I watch what I eat doesn't mean I can't have 'normal' cakes and suchlike. Not everything has to be made with mashed splenda and egg whites :laugh: Nothing wrong with using them though, but I like to know what I'm dealing with before tinkering with a recipe.

Enjoy!
