Perfect Pear Muffins

Ingredients

• all-purpose flour (2 cups)
• white sugar (0.75 cup)
• baking powder (1 tablespoon)
• ground cinnamon (1 teaspoon)
• baking soda (0.5 teaspoon)
• salt (0.5 teaspoon)
• ground nutmeg (0.25 teaspoon)
• diced pears (1 cup)
• buttermilk (1 cup)
• eggs (2 )
• vegetable oil (0.25 cup)
• vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
• white sugar (2 tablespoons)
• ground cinnamon (1 tablespoon)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2. Sift flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg together in a large bowl. Add pears; stir to evenly coat.
3. Combine buttermilk, egg yolks, oil, and vanilla extract in a bowl; mix well. Stir into pear mixture until batter is just moistened.
4. Beat egg whites in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until stiff but not dry; fold into batter until just barely incorporated. Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full.
5. Combine 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon together in a bowl; sprinkle over batter.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown and tops spring back when lightly pressed, 25 to 30 minutes.
