- 400g pears, peeled and coarsely grated

- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda

3. Add he grated pear and cocoa powder and fold to mix them in with a large spoon or spatula. Add the baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and flour and gently fold them through the wet ingredients till just mixed.
4. Spoon the mix into your prepared muffin tin. Scatter the chopped nuts over the top. Bake for15-20 mins, or till golden on top and cooked through in the centre – a skewer inserted into the middle of a muffin should come out clean.
5. Cool the muffins for a few mins before serving. They will keep well in an airtight tin for up to 2 days, or can be frozen and defrosted overnight.
6. Egg Swap
If you're vegan you can swap the egg for 50ml coconut milk.

These are dense and dry. They can only really be eaten warmed up with cream or ice-cream, so they don't stick your mouth together. The flavours really need a punch too. This recipe really needs reworking, so more moisture and flavour is added.
