Author Notes
Another non-diabetic gluten-free versatile base recipe that I usually throw blueberries or raspberries into, along with lemon juice and zest. But I was in the mood to try (not that I eat these... just to try switching up the ingredients) the autumn favors, which I had never done. —Brian Coppola
Ingredients
-
2
eggs
-
1/2 cup
sour cream (or buttermilk)
-
2 tablespoons
maple syrup
-
1.5 cups
Gluten-free flour
-
1/2 cup
melted butter
-
2 tablespoons
maple extract
-
3/4 cup
brown sugar
-
2 teaspoons
baking powder
-
2
apples (Granny Smith)
-
2
pears (Bartlett)
-
1 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
-
2-3 tablespoons
1:1 cinnamon-sugar mixture
Directions
-
Dice the apples and pears, adding to a ceramic bowl with lemon juice (about 1/3 c) and sugar (about 3 T). Mix well and cover with plastic wrap; let sit for an hour.
-
Preheat the oven to 325F and prepare muffin tins with paper liners (makes 12).
-
Put eggs, sour cream, sugar, and maple syrup and maple extract in a bowl. Electric mixer to smooth.
-
Add the butter while mixing.
-
Add the flour, cinnamon, and the baking powder, blend with the mixer.
-
Fold in a little over ¾ of the apple-pear mixture into the batter (avoid the juice; strain if you want to, but I just used my hands)
-
Scoop into muffin tin. Top with remaining apple-pear pieces (these I strained and patted dry first). Dust the top with sugar and cinnamon.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes until firm to the touch and lightly browned.
-
Remove muffins to rack immediately to avoid condensation in the tin.
