Pear and Ginger Muffins

Very nice muffins indeed. We have a surplus of pears at the moment and were hunting for pear recipes. These don't use tons of pears, just 1 1/2 cups, but it's enough to keep them moist and flavourful.

The consistency is light and fluffy (we substituted some plain yogurt for the 2/3 cup sour cream), almost more like cupcakes than most muffins I've made. They're fairly sweet too, and the ginger taste isn't terribly strong. Next time I'll try these with a little bit less sugar (maybe 1/2 cup rather than 3/4 cup granulated sugar) and a bit more ginger.

Still, very tasty!
