Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and finely diced
- 2 eggs
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, plain Greek yogurt, unsweetened applesauce, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gently fold the diced pears into the wet mixture, ensuring the pear pieces are evenly distributed throughout.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until the batter is just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the oatmeal pear bread on its own or with a smear of butter or honey.
