Gluten Free _ Vegan Roasted Pear Muffins


I'm officially back on my gluten-free / vegan baking kick again. that is until next week when i'll be inthralled over some new obsession, i think its gunna be ginger, but you just never know. my (best mom ever) mom sent me some fruit in the mail including but not limited to pears. the majority made the journey up north fine, but sadly two had some issues. these "issues" called for immediate use - alright then crack open the ole' babycakes cookbook and see what we concoct.
the original recipe called for a mix of granny smith and pink lady apples - needless to say i ignored that and used my pears. i have to say these little guys are delish! i sat down to eat a half before heading out on errand - you know i "needed the fuel" and seriously could not stop shoveling the soft and slightly gooey goodness into my grateful mouth. let me know if anyone - is there anyone out there anyways? i think i am talking to myself here - tries these with apples.
