1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe pears. They should be soft to the touch and have a slightly sweet aroma.
  • If you don't have any granola on hand, you can use chopped nuts or seeds instead.
  • Be sure to grease the muffin tins well to prevent the muffins from sticking.
  • Fill the muffin tins only about 2/3 full, as the muffins will rise as they bake.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
