Eggless Pear-Nutella Muffins/Cup Cakes

Everybody enjoy's Nutella. There would be very few people, who don't lick the spoon clean after using Nutella!!!! I do, always!!!! Recently i saw these Nutella Muffins @ Pavithra's Space and also @ Priya yallapantula Space. Being a Nutella Fan, i wanted to try them immediately.  I had some pears which were not so good in taste, i didn't want to thrash them, so i combined them with nutella to make these Delicious muffins, they came out real good. Muffins were a bit moist and tasted awesome. 
My Kiddo was so happy munching those muffins, he came home and made me a Picture of his Favorite Hero Ben10 fighting Forever Knights, Love the picture and the dialogues he wrote with them. Priceless Gift!!!!!

Ingredients
6 tbsp All Purpose Flour
1/4 Cup Nutella 
1/4 tsp Baking powder
1/4 tsp Baking Soda
1 Pear, Grated
1 tbsp of Flaxseed Meal mixed with 1/4 Cup of Warm Water
Method
  • Preheat your Oven to 180C. Prepare your Muffin Pan. I used take-away Alu-foil Muffin Holders. I got about 5 Muffins.
  • Mix the Flaxseed Meal with Warm Warm and Keep Aside.
  • Take Flour, Nutella, Baking Powder, Baking Soda and Mix well. Add the Flaxseed-Water mixture and Mix well. 
  • Add the grated Pear to this mixture and mix until well combined
  • Spoon the Mixture into Muffin cups and Bake them for 15-18 minutes or until a tooth-pick inserted comes out clean. 
  • Let them cool for 10 minutes. Serve Warm.  My kiddo enjoyed them as his Mid-morning Snack @ School.

Socks

These are now listed in my shop.

I had a bit of a disaster when knitting them. After knitting one sock I did something else for a week. When I knitted the second sock this is what I end up with:

Odd socks!!

So I had to knit another odd pair! Here is a matching pair.


Does anyone else think 'Harry Potter'?
