Moist, delicious, flavorful, seasonal, refreshing, fluffy, warm.
My honey pear muffins are exactly what they are suppose to be.....a tasty and satisfying muffin!
Karel left for Jacksonville, FL yesterday for 3 jammed-packed days of Retül bike fits.
To make sure my hubby had some healthy/feel-good snacking options for the road trip (and between fits) I packed him a cooler of foods as well as a snack bag.
I also decided to make Karel some muffins since he loves muffins and well, anything that resembles bread. FYI: we are a carb loving family.

I picked up a few pears the other day and I thought a honey pear muffin creation would be fantastic...and it was!!!
I hope you enjoy the muffins and make sure to yum really loud when you eat them so others around you know how great it feels to eat a yummy creation that you made at home.
