Paleo Banana, Pear & Flax Muffins

- 1 Banana mashed
- 1 large or 2 small pears, cored and cut into small chunks.
- 2 egg whites
- 1/2 - 1 cup milled flaxseed (the measurement will differ by how runny your mixture is, flax is good to thicken it so judge as you add)
- 1 heaped cup of almond flour (ground almonds)
- 1 heaped tsp baking powder
- 1 heaped tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp unbleached wholenut peanut butter (smooth or crunchy, your choice but I used crunchy)

*Pre heat oven to 180'c
*Add egg white to banana and mix well.
*Add pear and 1/2 cup of flax and mix.
*Add almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon and mix well.
*Mixture should be mixed evenly and the texture of normal muffin batter, add more flaxseed to thicken up if needed.
*Use ice cream scoop to get an even measure for your muffins, I used large muffin cases and used 2 scoops for each.
*Bake for 25mins or until browned nicely on top.
*TRY to allow them cooling time. They firm up, but stay amazingly moist in the centre... Even when cooled!

Enjoy!
