Creating Cinnamon-Ginger Spiced Pear Muffins is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Mix Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in Pears and Nuts: Gently fold in the diced pears and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
7. Scoop Batter: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These steps will help you create a batch of delightful muffins that everyone will love.
