Ingredients

Pear Muffins

1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 medium eggs
1/2 cup canola oil or any neutral oil
1/2 cup whole milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cup all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp allspice
2 medium pears peeled and diced
1/2 cup pecans chopped

Cinnamon Sugar

1 1/2 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F. Prepare a 12-muffin pan with 12 muffin liners. Set it aside.
Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add milk, canola oil, and vanilla extract and combine. Then add brown and granulated sugar and whisk.
Mix dry ingredients (all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and allspice) in a different bowl. Then, fold it into the bowl with the wet mixture.
Fold in diced pear and chopped pecans. Stir to combine without overmixing.
Divide the muffin batter into the prepared muffin liners.
Mix cinnamon sugar ingredients and spread them onto the muffins.
Bake for 20 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Let it cool to room temperature and remove it from the muffin pan so they don’t moisten in the base.

Notes

These pear muffins are so fresh, moist, and tasty. Their texture is soft and full of juicy pear pieces. Taste-wise, they're sweet and with a pinch of fall spices flavor such as cinnamon, ginger, and allspice. Then I've added some ground cinnamon sugar on top, providing a sugary-crispy crust and chopped pecan nuts that combine beautifully.

Tips

Store these muffins in a sealed bag over the counter for up to three days or in the fridge for up to five days.
These muffins are freezer-friendly, store them individually and reheat them in the oven or microwave.
