Delicious Ginger Pear Muffins Recipe for a Perfect Snack

Ingredients

Servings:
10
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup peeled and diced ripe pears
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it.

    Make sure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, ground ginger, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

    Sifting the flour can help remove any lumps.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, mix together brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

    Use a whisk for a smooth mixture.
  4. Fold in Pears

    Gently fold the diced pears into the wet mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

    Do not overmix to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
  5. Combine Mixtures

    Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

    A few lumps are okay; overmixing can lead to tough muffins.
  6. Fill Muffin Tin

    Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

    Use an ice cream scoop for even portions.
  7. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

    Keep an eye on them towards the end to avoid overbaking.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Serve warm for the best flavor.
