Vanilla-Pear Muffins

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup canola oil
• 2 eggs, at room temperature
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 pounds pears - peeled, cored, and coarsely chopped
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• Topping:
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground walnuts
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 14 muffin cups.
2. Whisk flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl.
3. 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.
4. Spoon batter into the muffin cups, filling them to the top.
5. Mix 3 tablespoons sugar, ground walnuts, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon together in a small bowl to make topping. Sprinkle topping evenly over batter.
6. 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.
