Pear and berry gluten free muffins

pear-berry-muffin-healthy-feature

So many reasons to love these pear and berry gluten free muffins. Firstly, they’re so easy to make with minimal ingredients. They’re also gluten free, refined sugar free with easy swaps to make grain free (our recipe has rice malt syrup) and dairy free (ours uses butter… coz um yum).

This Merrymaker recipe is brought to you by SupaBarn. They always have the freshest produce and make all the best healthy products available in their epic health food section. You can skip a visit to the health food shop when you shop at SupaBarn.

The funny thing with healthy muffins is that they can be kind of funny looking, so we really recommend you don’t imagine that giant baked muffin with that big muffin top when you’re baking these pear and berry gluten free muffins.

We’re sorry (but not really)… these muffins simply don’t have a muffin top. BUT they’re filled with good-for-you ingredients, so we feel like it’s an easy and understandable compromise. Also, they’re still bloody yum!

We don’t eat a lot of pears, we really are berry Merry sisters (oh gosh, we did just go there) and wow, the pear was a great decision. We used super ripe pears so once baked the flavour was insanely delicious. But feel free to swap to any other fruit or leave out altogether. 

We’ve come up with some other gluten free muffin flavour combos for you…

  • Strawberry and apple
  • Raspberry and macadamia (yum this sounds so good!)
  • Blueberry and almond
  • Apple and cinnamon
  • Strawberry and pistachio
  • Blackberry and strawberry
