Pear Spice Muffins {gluten free}

Happy Monday! Pear muffins. Perfect for that morning sweet tooth. It’s gluten free, and you can also easily make it vegan by replacing the egg with a chia seed one. (Recipe for chia egg here.) This was a super moist, softly spiced, and perfectly sweetened muffin. Overall pear deliciousness. 😉

On a side note, I’ve been having a really hard time editing my pictures since Snapseed changed. Anyone have any suggestions for a good food photo editing app?

Notes

*I use organic coconut oil, but not the extra virgin kind because it tastes too coconut-y for me.
