Raspberry and Pear Muffins

Serves: 36|Prep: 36 min

Raspberry and pear combine together with coconut cream to create these mouthwatering mini-muffins. The raspberries add a delicate sweetness to the muffins but they can be replaced with blueberries as an alternative. Enjoy as a lunchbox treat, after-school tummy-filler or a weekend snack attack.
