Pear Bread II

This was delicious! A few of the ingredients I had to change… I used half of a cup of brown sugar + half a cup of white sugar. I used half of a cup of veggie oil + half of a cup of applesauce (and I had to make my own applesauce and it turned out great!) Also, I added half of a teaspoon of ginger. I cooked mine for 45 mins, next time, however, I think I’m going to try 40 mins because it was just a teeny bit dry (My oven just runs pretty hot). I also think my baking powder is losing It’s ability to work, It’s a little bit old. Thank you to all of the people that put in the details about how they changed the recipe, you are awesome!!!!!

Loved the suggestions to use half oil and half applesauce, and the same with the sugars. Came out perfectly!

I made this as a way to use up a few pears that were past ripe. It turned out pretty good. I think walnuts may be better than pecans, but that’s just personal preference.

Tasty, easy and full of subtle flavor. I changed out 1 cup of applesauce for the oil and added a 1/4 -1/2 tsp. ginger

It turned out delicious. It was very moist and flavorful. Everyone liked it.

One word, incredible! Thank goodness this recipe makes 2 loaves because one was consumed within hours.

I mashed a couple of my over ripe pears to make 1 cup pear sauce instead of applesauce in place of the oil. Also used cut the sugar to 1 cup and used organic brown sugar. Added 3 cups diced pears. So good!

Great recipe for leftover pears. Used 5 small pears

I used applesauce instead of oil, and because my pears were verrrry ripe, I reduced it to 3/4 c applesauce so the bread wouldn’t be runny (per other reviewers comments). I also reduced the sugar to 1 1/4 cups, and added 1 tsp ground ginger. Otherwise, I made the recipe exactly and it turned out great! I baked in an 11×8 glass pan for 25 minutes at 350F.

1 batch made 9 muffins and one loaf. Note to self – cut pears pretty small 1/4″- ish. Subbed 1/2c brown for white. Remainder white. Used applesauce in place of oil.

Made as muffins—24 minis and 16 regular sized. Did not change recipe.

Thanks to Anna for a great taste treat that combines pears and pecans in a dense, sugary loaf. The All Recipes photo shows it as muffins – and we like it that way – but we are especially fond of it as bread. It makes two 4 X 8″ loaves. It’s a treat to find pieces of pears embedded in the bread, which can be done as long as they are not too finely or too coarsely chopped.

Unique recipe. I didn’t include the pecans cause I’m allergic, still came out fine. It is a little bit dry might want to add a little more oil. I added some melted butter and cinnamon sugar on top, tastes great!

Have now made this a couple times lately as friends tree gifted me with a lot of pears…have made it as per recipe & then followed others advice & had some homemade apple sauce that I used… since not all of my friends can eat nuts I used chocolate chips instead & added ground ginger & cloves ….wonderful… this is a great recipe that can be changed & still comes out great…

This turned out very moist and flavorful. I followed some of the other reviews and used 1/2 cup applesauce 1/2 cup of oil and 1 cup of brown sugar and 1 cup white sugar. I baked in my individual bar pan and placed a slice of pear on top of each before baking. It made 24 bars. Yum!!

came out very good and moist. I did decrease the amount of sugar and used an egg substitute due to allergies and it was delicious with lots of flavor!

Changed out the pecans for chopped walnuts and lessened the sugar by 1/2 cup. Absolutely delicious!

Delicious! I followed this recipe to the letter other than sprinkling on some course sugar before I put the pans into the oven. (I highly recommend this!) Will definitely make this again. Moist, sweet and well-spiced. Thank you!

Exceptional. I had all the ingredients on hand (although I did tweak it slightly), and it was rather simple to make. I may make it again, I haven’t tested it on the family yet but I’m very pleased with how it came out. Tweaks: omitted oil, substituted with 1/2 cup applesauce, 1/4 cup non fat plain greek yogurt and 1/4 cup pure maple syrup. Did half white half brown sugar. One of the three cups of flour I added was wheat. Also added a pinch of clove.

Delicious and my toddler ate it up for a snack!

I read numerous reviews and substituted a few items to make the recipe healthier. Applesauce for the oil, 1-1/2 C sugar (1/2 white and 1/2 brown). Extra pears. I would add raisins next time. Made cupcakes instead of bread. Reduced cook time by 10 minutes and they were a bit over cooked. I will only cook 30 minutes next time. Husband and grandkids loved them anyway! I will make again. We had a bumper crop of pears and this was a great way to utilize them.
