  • Total Time: 37 minutes
  • Yield: 12 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, oil, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined; small lumps are fine.
  5. Fold in the chopped pears gently to distribute evenly.
  6. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling about two-thirds full. Optionally, sprinkle sugar or oats on top.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Cool muffins in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Ensure pears are ripe for maximum sweetness.

Avoid overmixing to keep muffins tender.

Optional add-ins: nuts, cinnamon, or chocolate chips.
