Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup butter (unsalted, melted)
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 3 pears (peeled and diced)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instruction

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, egg, and sugar together. Add the pears and mix.
  • Combine: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and either using a whisk or a wooden spoon mix everything together but do not over-mix. Add the chocolate chips and mix until the chocolate chips are well incorporated into the batter.
  • Prep Pan: If you're not using muffin liners, grease the muffin pan or spray it with cooking spray. Add about two tablespoons of the batter to each muffin cup. Place the muffin pan in the oven and reduce the heat to 375°F.
  • Bake: Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown. To test for doneness, insert a clean toothpick in the center of a muffin, and if it comes out clean, it's done.
