Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 medium Ripe bananas (mashed)
- 1 medium Pear (peeled, cored, and finely chopped)
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Stir in the finely chopped pear, egg whites, applesauce, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup until well combined.
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
