Step-by-Step Instructions for Cozy Fall Pear Muffins
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a muffin tin with liners or grease lightly.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon for the topping.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; stir well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix just until combined; lumpy batter is fine.
  6. Fold in the chopped walnuts and pears gently.
  7. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin until level with the top.
  8. Sprinkle the prepared sugar and cinnamon topping over each muffin.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  10. Allow to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
