ingredients
Steps
Prepare Crumble
In a small bowl, combine chopped walnuts, flour, and sugar. Add cold diced butter and rub with your fingertips until crumbly. Set aside.
Preheat Oven & Prep
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate medium bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and vegetable oil (or melted butter).
Mix Wet and Dry
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in Pears & Ginger
Gently fold in the diced pears and grated fresh ginger.
Fill & Bake
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Sprinkle the walnut crumble generously over the top of each muffin. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
Cool Down
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Extra Tips
► Don't overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine for tender muffins.
► Ensure your pears are firm but ripe for the best texture and flavor.
► You can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the crumble for extra warmth.
