Banana, pear & walnut choc chip muffins

Healthy and easy to whip up wholewheat & fruit muffins!

Ingredients (makes 10 )

2 Ripe bananas
3 Pears - grated
Half cup Sugar
2 Eggs
4 tablespoons Coconut oil
1 1/2 cups Wholewheat flour
1 Tablespoon Baking soda
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
Pinch Nutmeg
Pinch Salt
1/2 cup Chopped walnuts
1/2 cup Dark choc chips
Tablespoon Vanilla essence

Method

Pre-heat oven to 190o. Mash bananas, sugar, eggs, coconut oil, vanilla essence with a potato masher or spatula. (Can be lumpy afterwards).
Mix flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon & nutmeg together.
Incorporate dry mix into wet mix but don't over mix!
Incorporate grated pear, walnuts & choc chips. Spoon mixture into muffin cases and bake for 25 to 30 minutes - until springy to touch!

Notes

I have made this recipe so many times and have also included variations which make them just as amazing (ie: added apple, carrot or zucchini, without nuts etc) Perfect for adults and amazing for kids (school lunch box or home snack)!!!
