Vegan Spiced Oat Pear Muffins

Gluten free, refined sugar free with vegan blogger collaboration
Vegan Spiced Oat Pear Muffins

I’ve definately been giving pear more of a go since having the baby (pear purée is delicious ) so I’ve been making a few more things with pear before summer seasons get here (can’t wait for stone fruit) . I’ve also discovered that pears are a great gentle digestive aid so I like eating them for my gut. Personally I can’t handle many of the traditional gut healthy stuff like probiotics, fermented foods , kombucha, resistant starch etc as I react quite strongly to them. Pears help me in a gentle way without making me feel like death.

For this post I made these pear muffins and they were nothing short of amazing ! Also you will be happy to know that I finally took the plunge and baked something that didn’t involve spelt flour! I rely so having on spelt for baking as it’s such a forgiving flour but I get questions all the time for baking that’s more gluten free. Unfortunately I think many people still have issues with oats even if they get gluten free oats so I’m not sure if I’ll get the tick of approval from my gluten free followers just yet but it’s a step forward none the less! My only regret with these muffins is that I didn’t chop the pear a little smaller. I wasn’t very precise at all and some of the larger bits did make the muffins fall apart. Over all the taste and texture was delicious ! I can’t wait to make a new batch to freeze soon.

For this post I’ve also collaborated with a few other vegan bloggers that have come up with some pear recipes as well. If your looking for some pear inspiration I’ll pop the links to the different recipes after my own! Enjoy!
