01
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger, and salt. Make a little well in the center. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, and egg, then pour this into the well you made. Gently stir everything just until it’s moistened, then fold in the chopped pear and walnuts.

Step 2
Spoon the batter into your prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Mix the oat bran with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, and sprinkle this mixture evenly over the tops of the muffins.

Step 3
Pop the muffins in the oven and bake for about 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are nicely browned. Let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before taking them out. They’re best enjoyed warm!
