Perfect Pear Muffins

Perfect Pear Muffins
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup diced pears
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 eggs, separated, yolks lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • Topping:
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon


  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Sift flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt together in a large bowl. Add pears; stir to coat evenly.
  3. Combine buttermilk, egg yolks, oil, and vanilla extract in a bowl; mix well. Stir into the pear mixture until batter is just moistened.
  4. Beat egg whites in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until stiff but not dry. Fold egg whites into the batter until just barely incorporated. Fill muffin cups 2/3-full with batter.
  5. Combine 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon together in a bowl; sprinkle over the batter.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown and tops spring back when lightly pressed, 25 to 30 minutes.
