Ingredients for pears in syrup:

Lightly whisk the eggs in the bowl. Add sugar, then chocolate and butter mixture and mix. Sift the plain flour, cocoa and baking powder directly to the mixture. Stir until well combined.
Share the brownie mixture between 10 muffin cases. Gently press a pear quarter into the middle of each one.
Bake at 170ºC for about 20 minutes. Set aside for 15 minutes to cool, then serve, topped with chocolate glaze.
