Pear-Pecan Muffins

 
136

A nice Autumn flavor to these light muffins. The optional sugar topping makes a more crispy crust. To make these more diabetic friendly, I used Splenda for half of the sugar. Feel free to use all brown sugar.

In a small bowl, combine egg, oil and buttermilk. Stir into flour and pear mixture just until moist. Batter will be thick.

Remove muffins from pan immediately. Cool on wire rack for about 10 minutes.
