Tips:

  • Choose ripe, but firm pears: Overripe pears will make the muffins too mushy. Firm pears will hold their shape and add a nice crunch.
  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats: Quick oats will make the muffins too dense. Old-fashioned rolled oats will give the muffins a nice chewy texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the muffins to firm up.

Conclusion:

These pear and granola whole wheat muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They're packed with flavor and nutrition, and they're easy to make. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast or snack, give these muffins a try. You won't be disappointed!
