Ginger Pear Muffins

• non-stick cooking spray
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
• 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger, divided
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2/3 cup fat-free milk
• 1/3 cup cooking oil
• 1 egg, beaten
• 3/4 cup chopped pear
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
• 1 tablespoon oat bran

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly spray 12 muffin cups with cooking spray.
2. Mix flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, and salt together in a bowl; form a well in the center of flour mixture. Whisk milk, oil, and egg together in a small bowl and pour into well. Stir until batter is just moistened; fold in pear and walnuts. Fill prepared muffin cups with batter.
3. Mix oat bran and remaining 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger together in a small bowl; sprinkle over batter.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean and tops are brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing from muffin cups. Serve warm.
