- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl. Cream butter, eggs and sugar with a mixer in another bowl. Add vegetable oil, honey, vanilla extract, sour cream and milk and continue mixing. Combine the flour mixture and the egg mixture. Mix with mixer.
Fold in pears and nuts with a spoon or you can just sprinkle nuts on top of the batter in muffin tins. Spray a 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Fill muffins cups 3/4 full of batter. Bake in preheated 400 degree oven for 20 minutes until a toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean.
