These Pear Muffins with Crumble Topping are a real treat. Moist muffins packed full of pear get topped with a streusel\/crumble resulting in a fabulous texture contrast. These will fill your kitchen with lovely smells and are a great way to use up leftover pears, or if you find yourself with a few too many! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The muffin recipe is really simple and doesn’t contain any wild ingredients. Likewise, the streusel\/crumble topping is made with flour, oats, brown sugar and butter. These ingredients each contribute something lovely to the topping, so try not to sub for alternatives!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For any muffin recipe, we keep moisture high and stirring low for the best texture. Absolutely minimal stirring is critical for a moist muffin. If you find your muffins are often dry, this is likely where you’re going wrong. Stir until everything is only just combined, then get them in the oven ASAP! Feel free to sub the pear for a similar fruit: apples work just as well. These will keep for a few days in an airtight container, making them a great grab and go breakfast or lunchbox snack. That said, eating them warm not long out of the oven is an unrivalled experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recommend using only a wooden spoon to mix the muffin batter, and you\u2019ll only need one bowl. I weigh everything directly into one large mixing bowl (a Pyrex one<\/a>\u00a0is a great choice for most baking recipes). Ensure the butter has cooled a little before adding to prevent the eggs from cooking. These muffins are the perfect balance of crisp and moist. As a pear muffin, they’d be great, but the addition of the crumble\/streusel topping results in a true joy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
