Recipe: Pear & Ginger Muffins

Did you know that research suggests that consuming between 0.5 and 2 grams of ginger per day helps reduce muscle pain and soreness? I whipped up some of these delicious pear & ginger muffins for Cronulla Triathlon Club members recently and there were quite a few requests for the recipe, so here it is! Enjoy :)

Makes 9 muffins 

​Ingredients

• 2 cups grated pear
• 1 cup self-raising flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 eggs
• 1 tbsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tbsp ground ginger

Method

1. ​Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Lightly grease a nonstick muffin pan.
3. Into a large bowl, add all ingredients together and stir gently until the mixture is just combined.
4. Spoon mixture into prepared muffin pan.
5. Bake for 20 minutes (or until cooked through) then remove from the oven.
6. Leave in the pan for a few minutes before lifting muffins out onto a wire rack to cool.
7. Enjoy :)
