These muffins are delicious! Chock-full of pears, pecans and down-home goodness, the moist sweet treats are terrific with a glass of cold milk or a steaming cup of coffee. -Laura Ward, Las Vegas, Nevada

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
