This vanilla and pear muffin recipe results in tender, light, and deliciously moist muffins. Vanilla and pear are a flavor-match made in heaven, and with the added goodness of whole wheat flour, these sweet vanilla pear muffins are great for breakfast or a snack. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. These muffins do not freeze well.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup white sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup low-fat vanilla yogurt
- ½ cup canola oil
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ripe pear – peeled, cored, and diced
- ½ cup chopped pecans
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease or line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
Step 2
Whisk whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Whisk yogurt, oil, egg, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl until smooth. Stir yogurt mixture into flour mixture until batter is just mixed; fold in pear and pecans. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups.
Step 3
Place muffin tin in the preheated oven; reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake until tops of muffins are browned and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cook’s Note:
Select a firm-fleshed pear such as the Bosc variety, as a softer fleshed pear will tend to melt into the batter.
