Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1.5 cups ripe pears (peeled and grated)
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups pecans (chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In another large bowl, combine the grated pears, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugars are well distributed with the pears.
Add the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the pear mixture. Mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a dense bread.
Fold in the chopped pecans gently until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
