Speed 6 will blitz the pears quite easily.
Have I missed something? Surely the pears can't go in just peeled and cored? Are they supposed to get blitzed with the almonds? Thanks
Thank you for the reminder. I actually noticed it myself yesterday!! Have now updated the recipe. Thank you for sharing your honey variation. Will try it next time.
Lovely flavour. I love the pears in these. The recipe missed out a step to add the raw cacao powder, so I just put it in with the baking powder. To make it 'sugar-free' I used 60g of raw honey instead of sugar and left off the icing - still tasted sweet and yummy! Made them into mini-cupcakes and baked for 15 mins - perfect for lunchboxes. Thanks for a great gluten-free recipe
