Easy-to-make pear and vanilla muffins featuring vanilla scented batter and fresh pear slices. Inspired by our trip to France, these muffins are a true delight – soft, light, and bursting with flavor. While we adore the combination of vanilla and pear, you can also experiment with other fruits. Consider trying sliced apples, strawberries, or plums for a delicious variation.
