I am not a get up and cook in the morning kind of girl! I have animals to feed and a kid to get out the door and the last thing I want to do is find breakfast but these muffins hit the spot and a super easy to make. The cinnamon teams up nicely with the pears and the glaze on top is just the final touch -- but you can't eat just...

I loved the flavor of these muffins, but they were a bit too dense for my liking. I think I'll try using a different recipe next time.

These muffins were a bit dry for my taste, but the glaze helped to add some moisture.

I used canned pears in these muffins and they turned out just fine. I think fresh pears would be even better, but canned pears are a good substitute.

I'm not a big fan of pears, but I loved these muffins. The glaze was the perfect complement to the sweetness of the pears.

I followed the recipe exactly and the muffins came out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.
