Ingredients

• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and finely diced
• 2 eggs
• 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, plain Greek yogurt, unsweetened applesauce, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gently fold the diced pears into the wet mixture, ensuring the pear pieces are evenly distributed throughout.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until the batter is just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve the oatmeal pear bread on its own or with a smear of butter or honey.
