How To Make Homemade Spiced Pear Bread Recipe

There are not many things as comforting as homemade bread from home! When it comes out warm, tasty, and melts in your mouth – it’s just so satisfying! Not only that, but it makes your house smell amazing – more so than any candle or artificial fragrance. 🙂

There are hundreds of different bread recipes out there, but we wanted to share a fun one today that uses fresh pears! Spiced Pear Bread! So yummy!

Last year, we purchased a case of pears for really cheap and tried to find tons of different ways to use them all, along with preserving many. Breads, salads and casseroles all contained pears for a week! But it was really good and a fun week of new recipe experiments. Most recipes we liked and some were just okay! But breads are just pure awesome – kids, adults and all alike love it!

Note: for allergy changes – use the Best DIY Gluten-Free Flour to make this gluten-free and still just as nummy and fluffy. This also does contain pecans, but just omit for nut allergies. Still tastes great!

Ingredients Needed for DIY Spiced Pear Bread Recipe:

• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 3 eggs
• 2 1⁄2 cups pears – peeled, cored and chopped
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

How to Make Spiced Pear Bread:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease two 8×4 inch loaf pans

2. In large mixing bowl, combine oil, sugar and eggs – beat well. Stir in pears, pecans and vanilla. In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.

3.Stir dry ingredients into the pear mixture; mix well. Pour batter into prepared loaf pans.

4. Bake in preheated oven for 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of a loaf comes out clean. Allow loaves to cool in pans for 10 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.

This bread will store for several days. Also, it will last another day or two stored in the fridge. I find that it is easiest to cut it after it has cooled (like in the fridge especially) and then it can be easily warmed up again in the microwave for 5 seconds a slice! Brings that “fresh from the oven” smell and warm taste back!
