Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by lightly greasing it. (5 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. (3 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

In a separate small bowl, gently toss the raspberries with 2 tablespoons of the flour mixture. This will help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the bread. (2 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

In a large bowl, combine the chopped pears, brown sugar, oil, beaten eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined. (5 minutes)

05

Step
3 mins

Gradually add the remaining flour mixture to the pear mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)

06

Step
2 mins

Gently fold in the flour-coated raspberries and the toasted pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter. (2 minutes)

07

Step
1 mins

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. (1 minute)

08

Step
1 hrs 30 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top of the bread starts to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with foil during the last 20-30 minutes of baking. (90 minutes)

09

Step
20 mins

Let the bread cool in the pan for 20 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. (20 minutes)

For an enhanced flavor, consider browning the butter before adding it to the wet ingredients. This adds a nutty depth to the bread.
To toast the pecans, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden. Alternatively, toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
If you prefer a sweeter bread, you can add a simple glaze after it has cooled. Whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of milk or lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the bread.

    I loved how moist and flavorful this bread was. The hint of cinnamon added a lovely warmth. I followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out beautifully.
