Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or coat with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut or rub the cream cheese and butter into the dry ingredients. Add the oil and toss with a fork to coat. Add the pear and nuts; toss to coat. Mix the buttermilk and maple (or vanilla) extract in a measuring cup and stir just enough into the dry ingredients until the dough clumps together. (It will be sticky and you may not need all of it).
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead several times; do not overwork. Divide in half and pat each piece into a 7-inch circle. Cut each circle into 6 wedges; transfer to the prepared baking sheet and arrange back in their circles, pulling the wedges apart a little bit to leave room for baking expansion.
Brush the tops with the egg glaze; sprinkle with nuts, pressing lightly, and sugar.
Bake the scones until golden and firm to the touch, 20 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.
