Instructions

  • Whip together softened butter with honey and vanilla. Set aside.
  • Combine dry ingredients for chai pear muffins including all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, ground ginger, allspice, cloves, cardamom, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together milk with vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Stir in chopped pear.
