Vanilla-Pear Muffins image

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoon Sugar
2 tablespoon chopped walnuts, ground
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup canola oil or walnut oil
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 - 5 ripe pears, cored and coarsely chopped
1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350°F. Grease 14 standard muffin cups with butter or butter-flavored nonstick cooking spray. To make the topping, in a small bowl, stir together the sugar, walnuts and cinnamon. Set aside. To make the muffins, in a bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, buttermilk and vanilla until blended. Add the flour mixture, stirring just until evenly moistened. The batter will be slightly lumpy. Using a large silicone spatula, gently fold in the pears and walnuts just until evenly distributed, no more than a few strokes. When mixing, take care not to break up the fruit. Do not overmix. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them level with the rim. Sprinkle the muffins with the topping, dividing it evenly. Fill the unused muffin cups one-third full with water to prevent warping. Bake until the muffins are golden, dry and springy to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer the pan(s) to a wire rack and let cool for 5 minutes, then unmold the muffins onto the rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. Makes 14 muffins.

These muffins were a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise they were good.

These muffins are so moist and flavorful! I love the combination of pear and vanilla. They're perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Not bad! The muffins were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding some extra butter or oil next time to see if that helps. Overall, I'd say these are a solid recipe.

Easy to make and delicious! The muffins were light and fluffy, with just the right amount of sweetness. The pear flavor was subtle but noticeable, and the vanilla added a nice touch of warmth. I'll definitely be making these again.
