Feel free to leave the skins on, I know I do.", "Mix together the eggs, oil, yogurt, and sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Add the grated pears and combine.", "Measure out the dry ingredients and combine in separate bowl before adding to the wet ingredients and stirring until barely combined.

Top each muffin with a walnut half.", "Bake at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes, but check after 20 because ovens really do vary. The muffins are done when they pull away from the pan and a knife inserted comes out clean.", "You could devour them right away, but they taste best after at least a day of ""ripening""."]
