In a large bowl combine all the dry ingredients and stir well. In a second smaller bowl, crack egg and whisk until foamy. Add remaining wet ingredients to egg and whisk together. Pour wet ingredients into dry and fold together a few times, until about half incorporated. Add the pear, chocolate chips and walnuts and finish folding together. It should be about 15 strokes total.
