Apple and Pear Muffin Bites Gluten and Dairy free

I've had this packet of coconut flour in my cupboard for a while.  Every now and then I think about using it and then I chicken out.  But we've got a few pears on the bench and they are looking a little miserable.

So coconut flour.  It's not a 1:1 replacer for normal flour.  In fact it seems to be a bit of a wild demon.  So I did a little reading on the web and decided to go with 1/3 cup of coconut flour.

I'm actually quite happy with how they turned out.  They are moist.  They remain moist too, which is a nice change from normal cakes which tend to go hard.
