This Monday we have one recipe and four excellent pear muffin variations for you. The original recipe ‘Pear and Date Muffins’ hails from The Free Range Cook by Annabel Langbein.
My version is without dates and substitutes water for buttermilk: two small tweaks, resulting in muffins moist and delicious.
I might be overdoing the strawberries, They’re in season, after all, and I couldn’t resist topping the muffins with some freshly topped luscious berries for breakfast this morning.
