Instructions
Creating these delightful muffins is a breeze. Follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by greasing it or using muffin liners.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger.
3. Combine Sugars: In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined.
4. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the egg, vegetable oil (or melted butter), vanilla extract, and buttermilk to the sugar mixture. Whisk together until smooth and homogeneous.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
6. Add Pears: Fold in the diced pears until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
8. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. They are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
