Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.75 cups Nonfat plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 1 cup Pear (ripe, peeled, and diced)
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon Milk (low-fat or nonfat)
• 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg. Stir in the applesauce, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and brown sugar until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the diced pear gently to distribute evenly in the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

To prepare the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 10

Once the muffins have completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the muffins using a spoon. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
