Plus, with it being the first day not traveling we had the time for a little baking. After doing a little searching on Pinterest we found a few recipes that would fit the bill. Healthy, oatmeal muffins that of course has pears, is exactly what we were looking for. Plus as you can see below we were able to use the food compressor part of our new Ninja.
Here is our recipe adapted from Random Recycling.
