A delicious muffin that can be made gluten-free.
Combine 1 cup grated pear with melted butter, brown sugar, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk well to combine. In a large bowl, combine oats with either the all-purpose and whole wheat flours, or with the almond meal and gluten-free flours. Add baking soda, baking powder, salt, cardamom, nutmeg, and salt. Add ½ cup walnuts and chocolate chips. Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients. If using wheat flour, mix until just combined. I didn’t worry about overmixing since I didn’t have any ingredients that would form gluten, so I stirred well for good measure.
