Bartletts are excellent for this but others will do also. Pick pears that are slightly underripe.

Time 45m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup buttermilk
½ cup canola oil
2 eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 pounds pears - peeled, cored, and coarsely chopped
1 cup chopped walnuts
3 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons ground walnuts
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 14 muffin cups.
  • Whisk flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl.
  • Whisk buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Pour in flour mixture; mix just until moistened. Fold pears and chopped walnuts into the batter with a few quick strokes.
  • Spoon batter into the muffin cups, filling them to the top.
  • Mix 3 tablespoons sugar, ground walnuts, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon together in a small bowl to make topping. Sprinkle topping evenly over batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Place muffin tins on a wire rack; cool for 5 minutes before removing muffins.

The muffins were a little dry, but the flavor was good. I might try adding some extra butter or oil next time.
