Ingredients

non-stick cooking spray
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon ground ginger, divided
¼ teaspoon salt
⅔ cup fat-free milk
⅓ cup cooking oil
1 egg, beaten
¾ cup chopped pear
¼ cup chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon oat bran

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly spray 12 muffin cups with cooking spray.
Mix flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, and salt together in a bowl; form a well in the center of flour mixture. Whisk milk, oil, and egg together in a small bowl and pour into well. Stir until batter is just moistened; fold in pear and walnuts. Fill prepared muffin cups with batter.
Mix oat bran and remaining 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger together in a small bowl; sprinkle over batter.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean and tops are brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing from muffin cups. Serve warm.
