Servings: 12

40 g Walnuts
70 g pitted dates
1 Pear or apple
280 g Flour
100 g Wholegrain oat flakes
100 g Sugar
2 TEASPOONS Baking Powder
1 TEASPOON ground cinnamon
1⁄4 Tsp Nutmeg
1⁄2 Tsp Baking soda
1⁄2 Tsp Salt
50 g Butter
250 g Buttermilk
125 ml Maple syrup
1 Egg (Gr. L)
1 TEASPOON Sugar beet syrup

Directions

1
Coarsely chop the walnuts. Finely chop dates. Peel, quarter, core and grate the pear. Preheat oven (electric cooker: 190 °C). Butter a 12-piece muffin tin.
2
Mix the dry ingredients (flour, wholemeal oat flakes, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, salt) in a bowl. Melt butter and mix it hot with the remaining liquid ingredients.
3
Add to the dry ingredients and mix everything briefly until all ingredients are just mixed.
4
Briefly fold in the walnuts, dates and pear. Spread the dough evenly on the muffin tin. Bake in the oven for about 21 minutes. As a cooking test, prick a muffin with a wooden skewer. If the skewer stays clean, the muffins are ready.
5
Stick a little more dough to it, put it back in the oven and bake a few minutes longer.
