Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups diced pears (Bosc or Anjou)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
1/2 cup brown sugar (for streusel)
1/2 tsp cinnamon (for streusel)
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (for streusel)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Step 2: Prepare the streusel by mixing flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and walnuts in a small bowl. Cut in the cold butter until crumbly.
Step 3: Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients including melted butter, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla.
Step 4: Combine wet and dry ingredients, then fold in the diced pears and toasted walnuts gently.
Step 5: Divide the batter into the muffin tin and top with a generous amount of the prepared streusel.
Step 6: Bake for 22 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Notes
Use firm-ripe pears for the best texture. Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and airy.
