Pear Coffee Cake Muffins Recipe To Check in 2023

Packed with crunchy walnuts, cinnamony goodness and the sweetness of fresh pears, these Pear Coffee Cake Muffins are a healthy, fun way to get your fall flavors into a portable breakfast. Seriously, I don’t even eat pears most of the time but they majorly work in this one.

Plus, with national pumpkin shortages and only so many things you can do with an apple (ok, there are a lot), pears come in handy as a bit of a change in the seasonal flavor department. All in all, these Pear Coffee Cake Muffins are a major success in my book.
