- 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
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- 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.
- Combine buttermilk, egg yolks, oil, and vanilla extract in a bowl; mix well. Stir into the pear mixture until batter is just moistened.
- 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.
- Combine 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon together in a bowl; sprinkle over the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown and tops spring back when lightly pressed, 25 to 30 minutes.
