Gingerbread Pear Muffins

Carol Food

 

Today I’m getting into the season with moist and flavorful muffins combining ginger, molasses and pear. They are so good with a cup of hot chocolate or coffee on a cold morning. They are moist and sweet, but not too sweet.  A delicious treat any time of day.  They would be make a fantastic baked gift this holiday season.
