Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the applesauce, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the diced pear until distributed evenly throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
