This recipe is great for using up forgotten pears that are too soft to eat. Applesauce, honey, and molasses lend a natural sweetness and the ginger gives these muffins a little kick.

Join the discussionThese muffins were delicious. But they weren’t pretty. The batter was extremely thin compared to other muffin batters. I think it could benefit from more flour to offset the liquid sugars (molasses and honey). The muffins took fievee tobake and then fell as soon as I took them out of the oven.
We’re glad to hear they were yummy although maybe not aesthetically pleasing. Thank you so much for your feedback! 🙂
These were great! I like having one as an evening snack since they’re filling and light on calories.
I substituted oat flour for the bran and they came out with no issues. While I agree with the other comment that the batter was a bit thin, it wasn’t much of a problem with my batch. Maybe the oat flour is what did it! I’ll stick to that and maybe add a little extra next time.
