Ginger Pear Muffins

If you love pears and ginger, then this is the recipe for you! These ginger pear muffins are so tasty and easy to make! I had them for breakfast last week and wished I had made a double batch! They disappeared so quickly! The fresh ginger complements the pears so well along with just a hint of nutmeg!

I forgot how much I enjoy pears, I always would eat the canned pears when I was younger but I’m not sure I had ever had a fresh pear before weirdly enough.  They have such a nice texture and I can’t wait to try experimenting with them a bit more, I would love to make a tart or a quick bread! I ended up making a variation of this recipe a week later with cardamom in them instead of ginger and I am not sure which I liked better! Next up on the pear recipe roster is to make a chai oatmeal with spiced pears, I think that would be such an awesome combination of flavors!
