TGIF! Do you have any fun weekend plans? Add baking Honey Pear Muffins to your weekend agenda. I promise they will help make your weekend a good one! Don't worry, they are easy to make so you don't have to spend all weekend slaving over these muffins. You can whip them up in no time!
The weekends are usually busy for us, but we always find time for a special breakfast. Pancakes, waffles, French toast, baked oatmeal, scones, or muffins are a must! We always mix it up, but Saturday and Sunday are made for enjoying special breakfasts.
Last weekend we turned on Saturday morning cartoons for Caleb and made Honey Pear Muffins.
I love making muffins because they are simple and so satisfying. I love that every person gets their own little treat!
Pears and honey are a delicious combo and I use the combo a lot. For example, in our Pear, Brie, and Honey Quesadillas and in our Grilled Pear, Brie, and Honey Crostini. Sooooo good!
The pear and honey combo wins again with these marvelous muffins! The muffins are sweet with a hint of fall spices and dotted with juicy pear pieces. We topped our muffins with a drizzle of honey and savored every single bite!
Honey Pear Muffins will make your weekend a little sweeter. Make a batch and enjoy!
