Ever hit that 3 p.m. slump where your focus fades, your energy dips, and you start craving something sweet? These Pear Cardamom Muffins are here to change that. Soft, fragrant, and subtly spiced, they’re not just a treat—they’re a functional food designed to support steady energy and mental clarity throughout the day.
This recipe features Eversio Wellness’ 3 Mushroom Blend (3MB) — a powerhouse trio of Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, and Turkey Tail — along with warming spices and nourishing ingredients that help balance blood sugar and sustain energy levels naturally.
Functional Fuel: Why These Ingredients Work
Lion’s Mane & Cordyceps: Think of these as your mind-and-body energizers. Lion’s Mane supports brain clarity and nerve health, while Cordyceps improves stamina by boosting oxygen utilization and mitochondrial efficiency. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), they’re known to nourish Kidney Yang and Lung Qi—enhancing endurance, focus, and vitality.
Turkey Tail: Celebrated in both functional nutrition and TCM, Turkey Tail strengthens the immune system and supports gut health. It’s especially known for tonifying the Spleen and clearing Dampness, essential for optimal digestion and energy flow.
Cinnamon & Cardamom: Warming, aromatic, and deeply grounding, these spices do more than add flavor. They help regulate blood sugar, curb cravings, and promote healthy digestion by keeping your Qi moving smoothly.
Coconut, Almond Flour & Eggs: This trio provides the perfect balance of healthy fats, protein, and fiber — keeping blood sugar stable and energy steady. Together, they support hormonal balance and long-lasting satiety.
Pear: Cooling, moistening, and gently sweet, pear nourishes Lung Yin and soothes internal heat often caused by stress or inflammation. Plus, it’s rich in prebiotic fiber, making it a friend to your gut and your glow.

Prepare the Pan: Preheat the oven to 350ºF (177ºC) and line a muffin tray with unbleached liners.

Bake the Muffins: Place the tray in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
