- ½ cup Brown Sugar
- 6 tablespoons Butter melted
- ⅔ cup Light Sour Cream

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease muffin tin or line with paper muffin cups. Whisk together whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, slightly cooled butter, sour cream, eggs and vanilla. Stir until batter is smooth. Fold in diced pears.
