Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 0.5 cups plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups ripe pears, grated (about 2 medium pears)
• 0.5 cups optional: chopped walnuts or pecans

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs. Beat until smooth and slightly frothy.

Step 4

Add the melted butter, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients. Mix until fully integrated.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the grated pears and chopped nuts (if using), ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
