The muffins are easy to make, and you can experiment with different types of chocolate—dark or milk—or even whip up a batch of double chocolate pear muffins for a deeper flavor.

How to prepare Chocolate and Pear Muffins

To prepare the chocolate and pear muffins, first peel the pears 1 and cut them into chunks 2, then chop the chocolate with a knife 3.

Place the softened butter and sugar in a large bowl 4, add the vanilla extract 5 and a pinch of salt 6, and mix everything with an electric whisk.

When the mixture becomes frothy, add one egg at a time 7 and continue to mix until fully absorbed 8, then sift the flour directly into the bowl 9.

Sift the baking powder 10 and baking soda 11 as well, and continue mixing with the whisk to incorporate them into the mixture. Finally, pour in the milk slowly, while keeping the whisk in action 12.

When the batter is ready, add the pears 13 and chocolate 14, and mix with a spatula to incorporate them evenly 15.

Now that you have the batter 16, divide it into 14 aluminum muffin cups, each with a capacity of about 3.5 oz 17. Bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for about 25 minutes, placing the tray on the lower rack. Once cooked, take them out of the oven and serve your chocolate and pear muffins 18!

Storage

Chocolate and pear muffins can be stored at room temperature for 2-3 days, covered with a glass dome. You can freeze them after baking and completely cooling.

Advice

You can also use other varieties of pears, as long as they are well-ripe. If you want to add some spice, try a pinch of cinnamon or ginger, either fresh or powdered!
