Almond Pear Bread

Ingredients
3 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 heaping Tbs cinnamon
1 cup chopped almonds
3/4 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup sugar
2 Tbs honey
2 cups pears, peeled and chopped into small pieces
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in mixing bowl, stir well.
In a medium bowl, stir together oil, eggs, sugar, pear, nuts, and vanilla. Scrape the pear mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until the flour is incorporated and the batter is evenly moistened.

Divide batter into two greased loaf pans and bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until bread is browned and firm. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.

Cool the bread in the pan on a wire rack for about 10 minutes. Then turn it out onto a plate or a wire rack to cool completely, top side up.

optional tips: sprinkle batter with oats prior to baking, or sprinkle with powdered sugar after removing from oven.
