I have received several comments and emails regarding the better than brownie cookies I posted a while ago - the recipe worked out fine for some of you but not so much for others... I’m sorry to hear that and have updated the post with info on the chocolate I used and on cooling the chocolate + butter mixture for 5 minutes prior to adding the other ingredients - I hope it helps!
If you’ve had a hard time baking the better than brownie cookies, may I suggest these muffins? A stress-free recipe that will cheer you up. And even if you haven’t baked those cookies, make the muffins anyway – they are really good. :D
Crunchy-top pear muffins
adapted from Holiday
1 ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon (185g) all purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
100g rolled oats
½ cup + ½ tablespoon (94g) brown sugar, both packed
2 eggs
1 cup (240ml) plain yogurt
½ cup (120ml) vegetable (light-flavored) oil
1 pear, peeled and diced
Topping:
¼ cup (44g) brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup (50g) unblanched almonds, finely chopped
Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF; line six 240ml (1 cup) muffin pans with paper cases (or just grease well).
Sift the flour, baking powder and cinnamon into a large bowl, add the oats, brown sugar and stir together. Make a well in the centre.
Whisk together the eggs, yogurt and oil. Pour into the well in the dry ingredients and stir with a fork until just combined. Fold through the pear, being careful not to overmix. Spoon into the muffin cases.
To make the crumble topping, mix the brown sugar and almonds. Sprinkle over the muffin mixture and then bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
Makes 6 – I halved the recipe, used 1/3 cup (80ml) capacity muffin pans and got 7 muffins

These look absolutely nice and yummy Patricia, lovely blog, Gloria
They look like coffee cake muffins. So cute and delicious looking.
These look great! I make so many muffins but I have never made one with a crunchy topping, I need to try that.
Nice muffins and they look delicious. I like the crunchy topping it s so inviting.
These are beautiful!!!
Bill's recipe? Than I am sure it's good!!
Looks beautiful. Which kind of pear did you use? Sorry, if this is an obvious question. I'm new to baking. :-)
Hmmhmmhmmh...wish I had a couple of these for breakfast tomorrow! Gorgeous!
Delicious!
In September we are going pear picking. I am going to bookmark thsi recipe so I can try it when we do.
Great blog!
I love them. Also, it's such an excellent idea to put a ribbon around each muffin - that will surely stop the papers from curling out.
I loved the cookies... and I think I'd love these muffins, too! Yummy!
Muffins look perfect! i havent used pears in my bakes as yet, will try soon!
oh ... that's such a cute styling ^^ ... XOXO
Patricia, these look so lovely. I love the crunchy top. That would be fantastic to bite into with the lovely soft cake waiting underneath! :)
Yum!
Love the crunchy topping!
Ooh, something for autumn, which is so close by! But I want a bite now!!! :)
Those look like a wonderful way to start the day!
The top looks fantastic. I would love to try this after liking the pear in pear and raspberry bread.
