Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, cream together granulated sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.
Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
In a small bowl, combine mashed pears and milk.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the pear and milk mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in chopped nuts, if using.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Ensure your pears are ripe for the best flavor and texture.
For extra sweetness, you can sprinkle a little turbinado sugar on top of the muffins before baking.
These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
