Overall, I thought these muffins were delicious. The only thing I would change is to add a little more sugar to the batter. I found them to be a bit too tart for my taste.

I was a bit hesitant to try these muffins because I'm not a big fan of pears, but I'm so glad I did! The pears were perfectly balanced by the spices and the muffins were incredibly moist. I'll definitely be making these again.
