Add flour and mix, then mix in pears. Do NOT overmix, or your muffins will become dry tasting.
2½ cups flour, 2½ cups diced pears
Grease the muffin pan (or use cupcake liners), and fill the muffin pan. Bake at 400 °F for 18-25 minutes. (Make sure the pan is in the center of the oven, to cook the muffins evenly.)
Sprinkle the optional sugar topping for crunch, and to promote a higher dome shaped muffin. Use about ¼ to ½ teaspoon per muffin.
6 teaspoons sugar (optional)
Muffins are done when the tops of the muffins start to turn golden brown.
Allow the muffin pan to cool on a rack (allowing for cool airflow underneath the pan), for 15 minutes before removing the muffins from the pan.
