Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 0.5 cups Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Pears, diced (about 2 medium pears)
• 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a jumbo muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, applesauce, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

Fold in the diced pears and nuts (if using) until evenly incorporated throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the six jumbo muffin cups, filling each cup almost to the top to achieve nice, tall muffins.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 22–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
