Ingredients
- 2 cups 260 g all-purpose flour
- ½ cup 100 g granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¾ cup 180 ml milk, room temperature
- ½ cup 114 g unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 3 pears ripe but firm
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or spray with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs until well combined. Add vanilla.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Peel and dice the pears into small, uniform pieces. Fold the pear pieces into the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. I like to use an ice cream scoop for the perfect amount every time!
- Prepare the cinnamon crunch topping by combining ¼ butter, ½ cup of sugar, ½ cup flour, ¼ cup oats and ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut butter into sugar and flour until the mixture resembles course sand. Sprinkle this mixture generously over each muffin.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve and enjoy the delightful combination of pear, cinnamon, and crunch in every bite.
