Pear Muffins

I had a lot of pears that I needed to find a use for. I did a recipe search and stumbled upon these muffins. They are especially great warm.

1 cup all purpose flour

3/4 cup whole wheat flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground ginger

2 Tbsp butter, very soft

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

1/2 cup plain yogurt

2 cups pears, peeled and diced

Preheat oven to 375* F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with baking cups. In a medium bowl, cream butter with brown sugar. Beat in eggs one by one, followed by yogurt. Pour egg mixture into flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Mixture will be thick. Add pears and stir just until well distributed. Fill muffin cups evenly with the mixture. Each cup should be quite full. Bake at 375* F for 17-20 minutes, until a tester comes out clen. Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or cold.
