Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 2 medium ripe pears, peeled, cored, and diced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs to the sugar mixture one at a time, whisking after each addition until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Slowly add the milk into the wet mixture, whisking until well combined.

Step 6

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 7

Gently fold the diced pears into the batter, ensuring even distribution.

Step 8

Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Yum Yum Pear Muffins!
