Ginger Pear Bread

This came out a little chewy and dense (but tasty!) the first time I tried it. I think my baking powder is old.

  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 c honey 
  • 1 stick butter, melted
  • 3 c flour
  • 2 tbs baking powder 
  • 1 tbs pie spice 
  • 1 tbs ginger powder or 2 tbs fresh grated ginger for more kick 
  • 2 cups diced very ripe pear (think banana bread mushy.) 

In small bowl mix diced pears and ginger, set aside

In second bowl, blend eggs, honey and butter until blended. Add pears, and beat until smooth.

In third bowl, mix dry ingredients. Add dry mix to wet gradually, beat until smooth (there will probably be chunks of butter. S’ok.) It should be thick batter consistency.

Fill greased and floured loaf pan 2/3 full; bake for 55 min or until toothpick comes out clean.

Optional: Before pouring in pan, mix in 1/2 cup chopped nuts, or after pouring, sprinkle 1/4 crushed nuts on top.
