These pear and ginger muffins are full of warm spiced ginger, nutty walnuts and juicy pears. They are super moist from the chunks of fresh pears scattered throughout and the batter is made with yogurt to give extra moisture.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup (124 g) natural yogurt or plain, at room temperature
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (110 g) white sugar
  • 1 cup ( 145 g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (96 g) whole-wheat flour
  • 1 Tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (55 g) walnuts, roughly chopped
  • 2 ripe Bosc pears
  • Turbinado sugar for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ËšF. Line a muffin tin with paper cups and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl add melted butter, yogurt, eggs and sugar, whisk together until smooth and well incorporated. Set aside.
