Wash, peel, and chop 2 pears into pea-sized pieces. Set aside. Melt 1/4 cup of butter and set aside. Start water boiling. Line muffin pans with paper muffin cups. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Get out two bowls.
In the first bowl mix 1 and 1/2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of ginger, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Whisk together 1 egg, 2/3 cup of molasses (I use a little less depending on what I have), 1/4 cup of melted butter, and 1/4 cup of brown sugar in the second bowl. Then pour into the first bowl and stir thoroughly. Add 1/2 cup of boiling water. Once that is mixed evenly, pour in the chopped pears and about 1/3 cup of chocolate chips.
Spoon into 12 muffin cups. Bake for about 18 minutes until toothpick inserted in center (not through a chocolate chip) comes out clean.
I like them best slightly warm, but cool enough to be firm. Watch out! They're addicting!
To God be all glory.
