1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt

2 D'Anjou pears (2 cups), peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
FOR GRANOLA CRISP TOPPING
(or use an additional 3/4 cup plain granola)
1/2 cup granola
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together flours, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, yogurt, and butter. Make a well in the center of flour mixture. Add egg mixture to well, and mix in flour mixture until just combined. Gently fold in the granola and pears. Make Granola Crisp Topping: In a bowl, toss together 1/2 cup granola, 1/4 cup each all-purpose flour and packed light-brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cut 3 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter into pieces; add to granola mixture, and rub in with fingertips until clumps form. Divide batter evenly among lined cups, filling each 3/4 full. Sprinkle with granola topping. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before removing from tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pears: For the best flavor and texture, use ripe pears that are slightly soft to the touch.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use fresh granola: Fresh granola will give your muffins the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh granola, you can use store-bought granola, but make sure it's not too dry.
  • Don't overfill the muffin cups: Overfilling the muffin cups can cause the muffins to overflow and make a mess. Fill the cups about 2/3 full.
  • Bake the muffins until they are golden brown: The muffins are done baking when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
