Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Step 2
Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown and tops spring back when lightly pressed, 25 to 30 minutes.
Step 3
Combine buttermilk, egg yolks, oil, and vanilla extract in a bowl; mix well. Stir into pear mixture until batter is just moistened.
Step 4
Combine 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon together in a bowl; sprinkle over batter.
Step 5
Sift flour, ¾ cup sugar, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg together into a large bowl. Add pears; stir to evenly coat.
Step 6
Beat egg whites in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until stiff but not dry; fold into batter until just barely incorporated. Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling each ⅔ full.
