Ingredients

175 g	plain flour
125 g	brown sugar
2 tsp	baking powder
1 tsp	ground cinnamon
½ tsp	ground ginger
¼ tsp	salt
1 medium	egg
125 ml	sunflower oil
125 ml	low-fat yogurt or sour cream
½ tbsp	vanilla extract
1 large	pear, ripe but firm, cored and medium chopped
	For the topping:
3 tbsp	walnuts, chopped
2 tbsp	brown sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to Gas Mark 6, 200C, 400F.

Lightly grease a 12-hole muffin tray or line with paper cases.

Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and spices together in a bowl. Create a well in the mixture and set aside momentarily.

In another bowl, lightly whisk the egg. Stir in oil, yoghurt or sour cream and vanilla and whisk quickly. Add immediately to the dry ingredients and mix together quickly, incorporating any patches of dry ingredients, but ignoring any small lumps. Do not over-work the mixture as the texture may be affected. Stir in the pear until distributed evenly.

Divide the mixture evenly between the cases, filling about 2/3 full.

Mix the chopped nuts and 2 tbsp of brown sugar together and sprinkle over tops of muffins.

Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown on top. Serve warm, if possible.

Surplus may be frozen, if wished, thawed and gently re-warmed before serving on a later occasion.
