Gingerbread-Pear Muffins

• 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 3/4 cup molasses
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 pear - peeled, cored, and diced

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper liners.
2. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt together in a large bowl. Beat eggs in a separate bowl; stir in buttermilk, molasses, and vegetable oil until smooth. Mix buttermilk mixture into flour mixture until batter is just moistened; fold in pears. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
