Ingredients | Bartlett Pear Flower

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

Directions

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.
