Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe pears: This will ensure that your muffins are moist and flavorful. If you don't have fresh pears, you can use canned pears, but be sure to drain them well before adding them to the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make your muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups evenly: This will help to ensure that all of the muffins bake evenly.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
- Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature: Gingerbread pear muffins are best served fresh out of the oven, but they can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
