Honey Pear Muffins-sweet honey muffins with juicy pears and Fall spices. Add them to your breakfast menu today!
TGIF! Do you have any fun weekend plans? Add baking Honey Pear Muffins to your weekend agenda. I promise they will help make your weekend a good one! Don’t worry, they are easy to make so you don’t have to spend all weekend slaving over these muffins. You can whip them up in no time!
The weekends are usually busy for us, but we always find time for a special breakfast. Pancakes, waffles, French toast, baked oatmeal, scones, or muffins are a must! We always mix it up, but Saturday and Sunday are made for enjoying special breakfasts.
Last weekend we turned on Saturday morning cartoons for Caleb and made Honey Pear Muffins.
I love making muffins because they are simple and so satisfying. I love that every person gets their own little treat!
Pears and honey are a delicious combo and I use the combo a lot. For example, in our Pear, Brie, and Honey Quesadillas and in our Grilled Pear, Brie, and Honey Crostini. Sooooo good!
The pear and honey combo wins again with these marvelous muffins! The muffins are sweet with a hint of fall spices and dotted with juicy pear pieces. We topped our muffins with a drizzle of honey and savored every single bite!
Honey Pear Muffins will make your weekend a little sweeter. Make a batch and enjoy!

Are the pears peeled then diced or just diced? Thanks. Looks delicious.

Very nice recipe–made them this morning.
These are my favorite muffins!!! I have made them for several people and they always ask for your recipe. They are in my oven baking right now. I believe the honey makes them extra sweet.
These look lovely, but I don’t have any buttermilk… Do you have a workaround?
I don’t usually comment on recipes, but I really wanted to thank you for this one! Made these yesterday and they were DELICIOUS!!!! I love the honey, pear and spice combination and the crunchy sugar topping. They’re moist and sweet and insanely good. I am making a second batch right now!
I am so glad you liked the muffins. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!
I have a box of pears that are right on the other side of their prime. I also happened to have buttermilk in the fridge so this recipe is just what I needed! They are delicious!
They look and sound so good! I want to make these this week. I have planned to bake some muffins for my parents as they will be visiting my home soon. I’m sure they would love this! Thank you so much for the recipe!
Just made these and they came out great! We baked them for only 16 minutes and used a buttermilk substitute (oat milk with lemon). Thanks for the recipe!
