Preheat oven to 325F (163C).  Peel and core about 2 ½ medium sized pears and blend or process into 1 ¼ cup of pear puree.  After 1 ¼ cup puree has been measured, discard the excess before adding the measured amount back to the food processor or blender.  Add the sugar, canola oil, non-dairy milk, ginger, lemon juice and salt and process until smooth.  Add the Eggless Binder Powder and and process until smooth.

In a small bowl, hand mix together 1 cup diced pear with 1 teaspoon sugar, ½ teaspoon cinnamon and ½ teaspoon nutmeg.  Stir this with a spoon, making sure all the diced pear pieces are evenly covered.  Set aside.

I posted it on my work's website as a blog entry! Everyone at work loved the muffins and my housemates quite enjoyed the loaf version with a cup of tea!

Mattie Just got my kefir granules in the mail and enjoying my first batch of soy kefir. Guess that makes me a double hippie or something.

Here's a Tip!

If you're cooking or baking with nuts and they're going to be under heat for less than 15 minutes in the final recipe, toast them before adding them to the recipe for maximum flavor. To do this, heat your oven to 350F (177C) place your nuts on a baking sheet and bake them for 10 to 15 minutes or until they're golden.
