I've not been food shopping this week so had to make use of what I had available, so I decided to use up the pears in my fruit bowl and make these Pear and Chocolate Muffins. I love this combination of flavours, the chocolate compliments the sweetness of the pears wonderfully! I am sure these are going to be a hit with the players and there won't be a crumb left going on the bakes I've provided for previous matches!
Pear and Chocolate Muffins
250g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
170g golden caster sugar
1 large egg
240ml milk
75g unsalted butter, melted
3 small pears, peeled and cubed
125g dark chocolate bar (chopped) or chocolate chips
Measure out all dry ingredients into a bowl together: plain flour, baking powder, chocolate and golden caster sugar.
Melt the butter and leave to cool down, once cooled combine with the milk and egg. Then add wet mixture to dry ingredients and then stir in pears. Fill each muffin case with the mixture and bake in a pre-heated oven to 180°C (356°F) for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

Im sure they will go down a treat. I used to play county level badminton - best bit was the tea afterwards... he he
Oooooooooooh, they do look good. I think my Hubby would really like these too - no badminton required lol
Pear and chocolate is a winning combination in my book. These look terrific, I am sure they went down well. So glad you have your mojo back! Lucie x
These muffins are delicious and always work well. Thank you domestic goddess!
Love your site but I'm from the US and don't know how to translate your measurements. I really want to try the Pear Chocolate Muffins as pears are very plentiful now in the US. Any chance you can do the conversion for us poor souls in the US?
Love your site. Joan
I tried these out today, turned out beautifully!
Can I make these in a tray since I don't have a muffin tray at the moment?
Joan, i had to convert it for myself as well,
2 Cups Flour
3/4 Cup sugar
1 Cup Milk
1/3 cup (a bit over) butter
1 cup chocolate
Hi Cristina
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, I've not been on blogger in a while. I am sure it would turn out ok in a tray, as long as its not too big. Not sure what size tin though. As for the conversions, I find Google very helpful for that.
These sound lovely...im goinig bake them for my 4 year old daughter and her friend for an afterschool snack ! Thanks
