Pear chocolate chip sourdough muffins
These muffins are a delicious combination of flavors, not overly sweet or heavy but with indulgent bites of chocolate and fruit.

Ingredients
- 140 g all purpose flour 1 cup (plain flour)
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 60 g unsalted butter ¼ cup/4 tbsp, melted
- 1 egg room temperature
- 50 g sugar ¼ cup
- 110 g sourdough starter ½ cup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 g pear (peeled cored weight) approx ½ cup when small dice
- 40 g dark chocolate chips ¼ cup
To top
- 1 ½ tablespoon demerara sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F/180C. Lightly oil or line 6 or 7 muffin spaces in a muffin tray.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg and sugar. Mix in the sourdough starter and vanilla.
- Peel the pear, remove the core and cut into a relatively small dice. Add the wet ingredients (egg-starter mixture), the pear chunks and chocolate chips to the dry ingredients and mix until combined but try not to overmix.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tray, smoothing the top slightly. You will want them to be around ¾ full or slightly more.
- Mix together the sugar and cinnamon to top and sprinkle a little over each muffin (you may not need all, up to you). Bake for approximately 20-23 minutes until golden and a skewer inserted in the middle of one comes out clean. Best enjoyed slightly warm.

Notes
- (Note I have used cupcake sized liners as opposed to oversize muffins - if you use the latter, you will get less and they may take slightly longer to bake.)
