Ingredients:

-2 tsp baking powder 
-1 tsp bicarbonate of soda 
-1 tsp ground ginger 
-1 tsp ground cinnamon 
-1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg 
-145g Spelt flour -145g rolled oats 
-225g Pear fruit puree (organic baby food works great!) 
-4 egg whites lightly beaten 
-125ml natural yoghurt -240g honey 
-1 firm pear - peeled, cored and diced (+ an extra pear for decorative slices on top if you like) 
-110g raisins OR 100g chopped walnuts

Preheat the oven to 190 degrees C/Gas 5.
Line a 12 bun muffin tin with paper cases.
Sift baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the flour and oats.
Make a well in the middle and add the wet ingredients and the raisins and diced pear. Fold it together, but don't over mix as a lumpy batter makes a lighter muffin.
Pour the batter into the tray, filling each 2/3 full. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
