Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pears, ripe and grated
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 pieces Eggs, large
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in the vegetable oil and vanilla extract until well combined.
Fold the grated pears into the wet mixture.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 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 it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve slices of Pear Bread Delight on its own or with a pat of butter or cream cheese. Enjoy!
