The chocolate and pear muffins are perfect with a cup of tea or coffee. They are moist and fluffy, super rich and full of pear pieces.
Super easy and quick, it only takes 15 minutes to make them. You only need a bowl and balloon whisk. Like for most of the muffin recipes, the ingredients are mixed by hand just to combine them and to not over mix the batter. This is the secret for perfect crumbly and moist muffins.
