Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Pears (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoons Ground cinnamon (for the swirl)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and 0.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar and melted butter until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the diced pears.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon to make the swirl mixture.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-brown sugar mixture over the batter in the pan.
Pour the remaining batter on top and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-brown sugar mixture on top.
Use a butter knife or skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon-sugar mixture into the batter for a marbled effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve as is or with a smear of butter. Enjoy!
