Pear Banana Berry Bake Recipes

PEAR BANANA BREAD

A nice change from regular banana bread--it's super moist and the pears really boost the flavor. I developed this by combining the best elements of banana and fruit bread recipes. As one of the reviewers discovered, this recipe doesn't work with hard pears--they have to be soft so they can be mashed in with the bananas to form a puree. Also, this can be cooked more quickly in a muffin tin (about 20 minutes).

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350.
Mash bananas and pears in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients until creamed together.
Stir in the fruit mixture.
Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan.
Bake for an hour and half.
Let cool for at least 10 minutes so it doesn't fall apart (it solidifies more with time).
