Time 45m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup plain granola
2 D'Anjou pears (2 cups), peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 Granola Crisp Topping or 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.

I've tried many pear muffin recipes, but this one is by far the best. The muffins are always moist and flavorful, and the pears and granola add a really nice touch.

These muffins were a disappointment. They were dense and dry, and the flavor was just so-so.

I love these muffins! They're so easy to make and they always turn out great. I usually add a little extra cinnamon and nutmeg to the batter for a bit more flavor.

These muffins were just okay. The flavor was a bit bland and the texture was dry. I wouldn't make them again.
