Blackberry Pear Muffins

Continuing with my blackberry and pear combinations, I made these tasty muffins.  One bite has a sweet taste of the pears and the next has a slightly tart taste of the blackberries.  I made it with some brown sugar to add a darker color and a hint of molasses flavor.

Blackberry Pear Muffins

1 1/4 cups buttermilk
3 tbsp butter, melted and cooled
1 large egg
2 cups flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon 
6 oz fresh blackberries, cut in half
1 fresh pear, diced
raw sugar (turbinado) 

Mix together the dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl.  In another medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, butter and egg.  Gradually stir in dry ingredients.  Fold in diced pear and blackberries.  Place in greased muffin cups or in paper liners.  Sprinkle some raw sugar on top.  Bake for 20 minutes at 325°.  Makes 15 muffins.
