Pear and Granola Muffin

So I am trying to do this P90X diet. Here is one of the recipe's from there. It's really easy and good.

• 3/4 cup canned pear nectar (I used canned pears, and just use pear juice from the can)
• 2 egg whites
• 1 Tb vegetable oil
• 1 Tb lemon juice
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup of brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup of low-fat granola
• 1 Tb baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/4 cups chopped, pears

Preheat Oven to 350 degrees

Whisk together first 5 ingredients in large bowl

Stir both flours and sugar in medium bowl until no sugar lumps remain

Mix in granola, baking powder, nutmeg, salt, and pears. Mix in flour mixture into egg mixture until blended (batter will be thick). Divide among muffin cups.

***The recipe states it makes 10, but mine made about 16-18***

Bake until golden brown and knife can be inserted into center and comes out clean.

***They said 20 minutes, mine was more like 30 minutes***

Basic Quiche

• 5 large eggs
• 3/4 cup milk
• pie crust (I love Pillsbury) It comes with 2, you will only need one
• 1 cup cheese
• 1 cup any meat (I used ham)

Preheat oven to 350. Spread pie crust onto dish. (I bought a quiche dish for cheap at Target, and loved it!) Beat eggs in large mixing bowel. Combine remaining ingredients. Pour mixture onto crust. Place in middle rack for 45-50 minutes or until it is browned and a knife inserted in center comes out clean.

I will post pictures as soon as I get my camera situation fixed.
