Grab some fresh pears to make these muffins! Bartlett, Bosc, and Anjou pears work best for baking. Just buy them ahead of time to give them time to soften up a bit. In every bite of these fresh pear muffins you’ll get some juicy, ripe pear! This recipe comes from an older cookbook by Nigella Lawson: Nigella Express.
Ingredients needed:
all purpose flour white sugar light brown sugar baking powder ground ginger sour cream vegetable or canola oil honey eggs fresh pears

Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a rack to let them cool completely. These fresh pear muffins rise nicely and are super moist. With 1 teaspoon of ginger within, they definitely have a ginger flavor. Fresh pears are the way to go- they are just so fresh and delicious, especially when eaten while warm and oozing with the juicy fruit. The brown sugar gives it a crispy crust of sweetness on top. Enjoy!
From RecipeGirl readers:
These muffins were killer! I’ve made a many a muffin but these topped every other muffin I’ve ever made. I substituted plain yogurt for sour cream and it was just as good. I also threw in some white chocolate for some pizazz. Cheers! Fabulous recipe! Super moist and delicious. Thank you for this recipe.
