Muffins make an excellent morning tea or a quick snack. These moreish muffins are packed with flavour, fibre and are an absolute doddle to put together. They freeze really well and kids love them in lunchboxes.

I made these muffins with canned pears( in juice), strained off the juice to which I added sultanas and brought to the boil and strained. I also lowered the sugar to 1/2 cup. Could lower it more. I think the sweetness of the juice means that the brown sugar can be lower.
