Fall Baking
Mmm... I'm probably the only person in Manitoba who's actually excited for this week's fall weather. I pulled out a sweater from my closet this morning - somewhat gleefully, I'll admit. Don't get me wrong - I love summer. I just REALLY love fall. Even more so this year, having experienced the intense discomforts of summertime pregnancy.I decided to mark this first fall-feeling day with some fall baking. And just because I'm in a particularly generous mood, I'm going to share tonight's recipe with all of you.
Ginger Pear Muffins
Muffins:
2-1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups chopped peeled pears
Topping:
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 tsp butter (melted)
1/4 tsp ground ginger
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, ginger, salt, and cinnamon. In separate bowl, combine brown sugar, oil, egg, and buttermilk - and pour over dry ingredients. Sprinkle in pears and stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Spoon into greased or paper-lined muffin cups.
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, butter, and ginger. Sprinkle over batter.
Bake in 350 degree oven for 25 minutes. Makes 12 muffins.

Sounds very yummy. Now if you only had a freezer to put them in. I guess you'll just have to bring some over so they don't go bad ;)
i'm with you in loving fall, it's always been my favourite season... everything just feels so crisp outside and cozy inside!
Nope! You're not, and for some reason I'm extra excited this year. These muffins sound delish, I can't wait to try them out, thanks for sharing!
