Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.33 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup ripe pears, peeled and finely diced
- 0.25 cups honey
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
Mix in the Greek yogurt until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold the diced pears into the batter using a spatula.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the honey glaze, whisk together the honey, powdered sugar, and milk in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, spoon or drizzle the honey glaze over the top of each cupcake.
Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Honey Glazed Pear Cupcakes!
