Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and cloves. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the diced pears. Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Make the Maple Glaze: While the muffins are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk (or water) in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk or powdered sugar as needed. Cool and Glaze: Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Drizzle the maple glaze over the warm muffins. Tips: You can add chopped nuts or a sprinkle of oats on top before baking for added texture. These muffins are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a sweet treat any time of day! Chai-spiced pear muffins with a maple glaze offer a unique flavor combination that’s sure to stand out and impress! Enjoy!
