PRESENTATION

Cinnamon rice muffins, let me tell you, bring something new to the breakfast table. And with juicy Williams pears? So good. These cinnamon rice muffins are made with cooked parboiled rice—really adds a fun twist, kinda like those old-school rice desserts. You know, like rice cake or pudding? The rice gives them a moist texture, making them feel different—almost like a cake and a rice pudding cup had a baby. Adding plenty of tender pear chunks makes every bite pop with a sweet, fruity flavor. The cinnamon? Keeps things cozy for sure, while the pears add just enough freshness to balance out those warm spices.

And here's the thing: folks who want gluten-free muffins can totally enjoy these. Using rice instead of wheat flour? Works great and keeps things light. Not everyone has tried muffins like these pear muffins, but they fit right in for anyone who loves easy muffin recipes—for busy mornings or snack time. Kids and grownups both love them. Really really love them.

The golden tops get a little crispy while the inside stays soft, like a rice-based dessert you can grab on the go. And look, the pears soak up the cinnamon, giving each muffin a burst of tangy fruit flavor that pairs perfectly with coffee or tea. Seriously good. It’s such a cool way to sneak extra fruit and grains into breakfast. And they hold up pretty well for a couple of days, which is great. Whether you’re after cinnamon pear muffins for something different, or just searching for healthy muffins to pack for school or work, these really hit the spot. They bring a sense of homemade comfort, mixed with classic American flavors. Anyone who’s into rice flour muffins or just wants to try a new twist on the usual muffin routine will probably end up liking these. Plus, the mix of flavors and textures keeps every bite interesting, so breakfast never feels boring—can't go wrong.

How to prepare Rice, Cinnamon, and Pear Muffins

To prepare the rice, cinnamon, and pear muffins, start by boiling the rice for 12 minutes 1. Drain it 2 and let it cool in a bowl 3.

Peel the pears 4, then cut them into quarters and remove the inner core 5. Cut them into slices 6,

and then into small cubes 7, yielding about 5 oz. In another bowl, pour the sugar and softened butter 8. Beat the ingredients with a whisk, then add the eggs at room temperature 9.

Beat with a whisk until the mixture is homogeneous. Gradually incorporate the baking powder 10 and sifted flour 11, continuing to whisk to avoid lumps. At this point, the mixture will be quite thick, add the milk, at room temperature, a little at a time 12, continuing to mix.

Finally, add the cooked rice 13 and pears 14, mix well and also add the cinnamon 15.

Pour the batter into a muffin tray for 12, using paper liners, filling almost to the edge of the liner with the mixture 16. Bake for 30 minutes in a preheated static oven at 356°F. When the rice, cinnamon, and pear muffins are ready, let them cool at room temperature 17 and they will be ready to be enjoyed 18.
