Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). This ensures that your muffins bake evenly and rise beautifully.
-
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, oatmeal, and brown sugar. Stir well to ensure that all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Once your dry ingredients are well combined, add in the diced apples, diced pears, skim milk, and nonfat plain yogurt. Mix gently until all the ingredients are just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense muffins.
-
Grease Muffin Tins: Prepare your muffin tins by greasing them lightly with nonstick oil. If you’re using a nonstick muffin tin, you can skip this step altogether for an even healthier option.
-
Fill Muffin Tins: Using a spoon, carefully distribute the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tins. Fill each cup about two-thirds full, allowing room for the muffins to rise as they bake.
-
Bake: Place the filled muffin tins in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool slightly in the muffin tins before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve these delicious apple-pear-oatmeal muffins warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the wholesome goodness in every bite!
