Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

3 c unbleached all purpose flour
1 c whole wheat flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1 c sugar
1/2 c light brown sugar
2/3 c vegetable oil
2 c buttermilk
2 lrg eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
3 lrg ripe pears, peeled and cubed, about 1/2 inch
raw sugar/turbinado sugar for sprinkling

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350, and spray muffin cups, or you can line them.
2. In a large mixing bowl combine all dry ingredients and give it a good whisk.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, oil, eggs, vanilla, and almond extracts. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Gently fold in pears. The less stirring the better, muffins are horrible if they're over mixed.
4. I use a 1/4 measuring cup to fill my muffin cups with, and I end up with 2 dozen. Sprinkle about 1/4 tsp of raw sugar on the tops of the muffins. Bake for 25 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and spring back when you touch them.
5. Once the muffins are cooled they can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days, if they last!

Tips:

For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for extra spice.
Top the muffins with a crumble topping made from oats, flour, butter, and sugar before baking.
For a moist muffin, do not overmix the batter.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These spiced pear muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They are perfect for a fall morning or a winter afternoon. With their moist texture, sweet and spicy flavor, and crunchy topping, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
