Pear Butter Spice Muffins

Pear Butter Spice Muffins meet the standards of my pickiest eater so you know they’re good!


Pear Butter Spice Muffins
A few months ago, a dear friend gave me a bunch of pears.

We turned them into Pear Sauce and Pear Butter.

Well you can only eat so much pear butter on toast or fresh bread.

Imagine how excited I was to find this recipe over at Pattitudes.

Apple Butter Spice Muffins!
Pear Butter and Apple Butter taste the same.

I have to try this!

And I’ll tell you, these are Cassie approved!
You know, my child who doesn’t eat fruit in any form.
It reminded me of the old Life cereal commercial,
you know the one,
“Give it to Mikey, he won’t eat it.
Hey Mikey! He likes it!”
