Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 12-muffin tin with cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, microwave butter until melted. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
   
2. Add to large bowl butter, brown sugar, eggs, and milk and mix until well combined.
   
3. In a small bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Gently, mix dry ingredients with wet until you can no longer see streaks of flour.
   
4. To the bowl, add pears and 1/4 cup of granola. Mix until just combined. Fill muffin cavities 2/3rds of the way full. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of granola on the top of the muffins.
   
5. Bake muffins for 15-18 minutes. Muffins will be done when a toothpick inserted in the middle of the muffin comes out with just a few crumbs sticking to the toothpick. Allow to cool for 5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.
