BONNIE'S BANANA AND PEAR MUFFINS
Now before you think that pear baby food is a typo, think again! I scooped up this little trick from a bakery caterer, and pear baby food makes a delicious cake or muffins. Try it and see. The muffins are light with just a hint of banana flavor. We also enjoy them frosted with butter cream frosting, or you can eat them plain. I bet you can't eat just one. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray an extra large baking tin with kitchen spray. One that bakes 6 large muffins.
- Assemble and measure all your ingredients to make the recipe before you begin.
- With a hand mixer, mix all your Wet Ingredients in the order given, for 1 minute.
- Then add the Dry Ingredients, and mix until combined. Spoon the thick batter into the tins. They will be about 3/4 full, and bake 20 to 30 minutes, depending on your oven. (it takes about 25 minutes in my oven.) Toothpick test centers to make sure they are done.
- Cool the muffins on a rack. You may frost the muffins or eat them plain. Nuts are optional. We prefer pecans.
- Taste one!
PEAR BANANA BREAD
A nice change from regular banana bread--it's super moist and the pears really boost the flavor. I developed this by combining the best elements of banana and fruit bread recipes. As one of the reviewers discovered, this recipe doesn't work with hard pears--they have to be soft so they can be mashed in with the bananas to form a puree. Also, this can be cooked more quickly in a muffin tin (about 20 minutes).
