    1. 0.5 is the decimal equivalent of 1/2. Please see the equivalent chart at the bottom of this post if you’re unfamiliar with decimal amounts.

  3. I prepared these muffins as is and they are fabulous! I ran out of streusal topping for the last few muffins and they’re still delicious. I also think they would be great with peaches instead of pears. I will definitely make these again!

  4. I made the muffins today and first let me say that they are yummy. I substituted some homemade applesauce for the pear puree and it was fine. BUT… please check the recipe card. The recipe card states that this will make 2 muffins. (which I didn’t notice until later) I saved and changed to serve 2 people. The recipe card then said it would make 4 muffins. I figured I would at least make 8 so I doubled the recipe. I now have 24 muffins plus an 8″ cake. Glad we like them 😉 So, 2 issues: The original recipe card should state 12 muffins AND the formulas need to be checked so that they reflect a change in the amount of ingredients when you change the number of servings. Typing doesn’t always translate tone well so please take this as a friendly assist. I really appreciate all of your work to provide these menus.

    1. Thanks for trying to help out. But we do run into issues with baking recipes like this one that include only one egg. Since eggs can’t be divided, our formulas are set to not divide beyond one egg. We assume that even if you’re only cooking for one or two people, you won’t mind a few extra muffins, especially since whole foods menu only includes 3 breakfasts. So the formula is correct, the change that needs to be made is the card should read “servings” instead of “muffins.” I will make sure that is changed on this menu and correct in the future.
