Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Teff flour
• 0.5 cups Almond flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Honey
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 medium Fresh pear (peeled, cored, and finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Crystallized ginger (finely chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the teff flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until blended. Add the honey, applesauce, and vanilla extract, and whisk until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until the batter is just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped pear and crystallized ginger until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
