Ingredients

Servings

for the muffins:

  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 2 egg large
  • 3/4 cup yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt fine sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon cardamom optional
  • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar 100g
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled not scooped!
  • 2 cups pear about 3 ½ small pears, chopped
  • 1/2 cup walnut chopped

for the topping:

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup walnut chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut pears into small cubes (you don't have to peel them), set aside.
  3. Prepare a muffin pan (standard size) and line it with 12 paper liners. Spray the liners with a non-stick baking spray (optional).
  4. Add the butter, eggs, yogurt, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cardamom, cinnamon, and both types of sugar into a large bowl. Whisk until well combined.
  5. Add the flour, fold in with a spatula until almost combined.
  6. Add the pears and walnuts, fold in with a spatula until evenly distributed and there are no streaks of flour visible. Don’t overmix the batter.
  7. Divide the batter evenly between 12 muffin liners.
  8. Make the topping: stir brown sugar with cinnamon and chopped walnuts. Sprinkle the topping over the muffin batter.
  9. Bake for about 25 minutes or until a wooden skewer/cake tester comes out clean.
  10. Place on a cooling rack to cool slightly and enjoy!

Notes

  • Measuring the flour: 1 cup of flour can weigh 120-150g, depending on how you’re filling your cup. I’m using the “spoon and level method” so 1 cup of flour in my recipes weighs 125g. If you are measuring your flour by dipping the measuring cup in the flour container it is very possible that your cup of flour will weigh 140-150g. Adding too much flour will result in dry muffins so please use my method of measuring flour or use a kitchen scale for a perfect result every time.
  • To correctly measure the flour, you need to: Fluff the flour by stirring it in the bag/flour container with a spoon. Spoon the flour and sprinkle it into your measuring cup. Sweep off the excess flour with the back of a knife.
  • Instead of cinnamon and cardamom, you could also use pumpkin pie spice.
  • You could also make cinnamon crumble to top the muffins: simply combine 5 tablespoons flour (45g), 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 cup light brown sugar (50g), and 2 tablespoons soft butter (30g).
  • Calories = 1 muffin (1/12 of the recipe). This is only an estimate!
