Banana, Pear, Clementine Blender Muffins

What do you bake when you have hungry guys around, and a basket of fast ripening fruit?

Muffins! And a loaf!

Into the blender went 2 peeled ripe bananas, 2 cored, washed, but not peeled pears, and 4 washed clementines, peel and all.  I did cut them in half in case they had seeds, most do not, but I wanted to be sure.

Whir, whir, whir, made 2 1/2 cups.  Add more fruit if needed, the 2 1/2 cups is important.  Add the oil, a couple of eggs, then the sugar.

All the other ingredients are mixed in a large bowl, then the contents of the blender dumped in.

Stir, stir, stir, just enough to mix the ingredients, no dry spots, but lumps are fine.

I half filled 12 muffin cups and 1 loaf pan, baked at 375 .

Yum, yum, yum.

Ingredients

1. 2 ripe bananas, peeled
2. 2 ripe pears, washed, cored and quartered
3. 4 clementines, washed and halved. Remove any seeds
4. 1/2 cup veg oil (I used avocado)
5. 2 large eggs
6. 1 cup sugar (I used white)
7. 3 1/2 cups flour (I used white all purpose)
8. 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
9. 1 tablespoon ground allspice
10. 2 teaspoons baking soda
11. 2 teaspoons baking powder
12. 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 Fahrenheit.
2. Puree the fruit in the blender, you need 2 1/2 cups. Add more or less fruit to get that quantity.
3. Add the oil, eggs and sugar, and blend some more. The blender will be pretty full.
4. In a large bowl mix the remaining ingredients.
5. Pour the contents of the blender into the dry ingredients and stir only until there are no dry spots. Lumps are fine.
6. 1/2 fill paper lined or silicone muffin pan. I used 12 large muffin cups and used the remaining batter in a greased loaf pan.
7. Bake around 30 minutes for muffins and 45 minutes for loaf. They're done when a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
