Add the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients, and mix until just combined.
Add in pear and gentle stir to combine.
Distribute the batter into muffin tins and bake the muffins for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool briefly, then carefully remove each muffin and place it on a cooling rack.
Enjoy!
