Tips:
- Choose ripe pears: Using ripe pears will ensure that your muffins are moist and flavorful. Look for pears that are slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet aroma.
- Grate the pears: Grating the pears will help them distribute evenly throughout the batter and will also help them retain their moisture.
- Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger will give your muffins a more vibrant flavor than ground ginger. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of ground ginger for every 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough muffins. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that your muffins are cooked through.
