Pear Muffins

3 c all purpose flour
2 c sugar
2 t baking soda
1 t ground cinnamon
1/2 t salt
2 eggs
1 c canola oil
1 t vanilla
4 c chopped peeled pears (about 6 medium)
1 c chopped pecans (optional)

Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.  In another bowl, combine eggs, oil and vanilla.  Stir into dry ingredients until just combined.  Fold in pears and pecans.

Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full.  Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.  Cool 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.  Serve warm.  Makes 2 dozen.

Note from Jill:  I like to use 1 c of wheat flour and 1/2 c applesauce in place of 1/2 the oil.
