Print Recipe

Delightful muffins that combine ripe pears and warm spices, perfect for breakfast or an afternoon treat.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup diced ripe pears
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your muffin tin by greasing or lining it with paper liners.
  2. Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl: whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
  3. Combine wet ingredients in another bowl: mix the sugars, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine the wet mixture to the dry ingredients: gradually add the wet mixture and stir gently until just combined.
  5. Add the diced pears and optional nuts and fold in until evenly distributed.
  6. Fill muffin cups evenly, filling each about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use ripe pears for the best sweetness and flavor. Optional nuts add a nice crunch.
