3 tablespoons canola oil
1 Bosc pear, cored and diced into 1/4-inch cubes

Heat oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly coat with cooking spray.
Combine flour, bran, sugar substitute, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Combine buttermilk, eggs, oil, pear, and vanilla in another mixing bowl.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix just to combine; do not overmix. Divide batter evenly into muffin cups. Bake for 20 minutes. Cool and serve.
