Makes 12 muffins.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients for the pear and ginger muffins:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
• 250 g plain flour<\/li>\n
• 2 tsp baking powder<\/li>\n
• 150 g caster sugar<\/li>\n
• 75 g light brown sugar, plus extra for sprinkling<\/li>\n
• 1 tsp ground ginger<\/li>\n
• 140 ml soured cream<\/li>\n
• 125 ml rapeseed or sunflower oil<\/li>\n
• 1 Tbsp honey<\/li>\n
• 2 large eggs<\/li>\n
• 300 g pears (about 2\u20133 pears), peeled and cut into small cubes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  All ingredients should be at room temperature.<\/p>\n

  In one bowl, mix all the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, both sugars and ground ginger. In a second bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: soured cream, oil, eggs and honey. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix briefly until just combined. Fold in the diced pears.<\/p>\n

  Line a muffin tin with 12 muffin cases. Divide the batter evenly between the cases. Sprinkle each muffin with a little extra sugar.<\/p>\n

  Bake at 200\u00b0C for 20 – 25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove from the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack. Best eaten slightly warm.<\/p>\n

  Enjoy!<\/p>\n
