Healthy and tasty individual cakes made with pears, almonds whole wheat and some chocolate chips. Too good to resist this Holiday season.
These whole wheat pa almond cakes are irresistibly delicious and perfect to finish with evening coffee or tea. One of my friends served these as individual cakes when we were visiting her a few weeks back.
We all loved these and I knew I had to get the recipe, that’s when I asked her and she showed me this magazine. Once I started glancing through the magazine, it was like a goldmine for food bloggers. I immediately clicked pictures of most of the recipes in the magazine.
Sometimes, we bloggers do whatever we can to find a recipe, food prop o even backdrops. I mean, seriously, literally, we can do anything, cross all limits, and don’t even think how weird it could be, right? When I think of the way I was clicking pictures at her house, I laugh out loud sometimes.
Anyways I tweaked the recipe a little for our taste preferences and used whole wheat instead of self-raising flour and yoghurt instead of eggs. The cakes came out perfect in taste and texture both.

Using pear puree to make these little cakes sounds absolutely delicious.
Pears in Cake must have tasted awesome ! Whole wheat is another reason for liking it .

Thats an interesting cake Sapana, adding pears in cake sounds ultimate. Those cakes looks gorgeous.
I vouch for how pear and almond in a bake tastes! The cupcakes look really delicious and moist… I did the exact same thing last month at my friend’s house when she pulled out a stash of magazines and they had such interesting recipes… my phone is now full of clicks… hehe…

Brilliant and well-done sapana, I love everything about this post, the recipe, pictures and styling.Can’t fault it. Wish I was your neighbour!!!
What a perfect bake dear Sapna ….. Beautiful clicks.. never tried pear in cake.. sounds so awesome
I like including fruits in my bakes. It gives such nice fruity flavor to the bake. Using pear puree is very innovative.
Today only, I had pear muffins at hotel Leela in my breakfast and loved them so much that devices to make them as soon as I’ll reach at my place. Now you have given the recipe making it easier for me to make these delicious cupcakes.
I’ve baked muffins with pear bits but you’ve given me the idea to add the puree too. And using wheat flour is a great idea. Yummy cakes.
bookmarking to try these healthy and fruit based muffins. I have pears so will try out this scrumptious recipe
these look fabulous – i am tempted to try them asap as I have some pears inhouse
