The idea for these muffins started back at the beginning of December.  December.  You know, like almost three months ago?  I had every intention of testing this Pear Macadamia Oatmeal Muffins long before now, but then life got in the way as it tends to do.  For some reason, a trip to Colorado to look for a house and three weeks of intense work getting our house in tip top shape to sell took precedence over muffin making.  Go figure.

But now that we’ve bought one house and sold another, it’s all about the muffins!  These muffins are the mashup of my Homemade Oatmeal Muffin Mix (which technically is my mother-in-law’s recipe) and a ginger pear macadamia muesli that I tried while on a trip to Minnesota.   This is the same muffin mix that’s also the star of my Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins and Cherry Almond Oatmeal Muffins.
