Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 pieces Eggs, large
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1.5 cups Ripe pear, peeled, cored, and diced
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using).

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, eggs, and milk until fully combined and smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the diced pear pieces, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
