Ingredients

2 ripe bananas
1 ripe pear
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon rum
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup white whole wheat flour
1/4 cup ground flax seeds
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup pecans, chopped

Steps:

Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Peel and core pear. Mash the pear and bananas together. Stir in vanilla, rum and buttermilk. Set aside.
Whisk flours, salt, baking soda together in a bowl and set aside.
Cream butter and sugars together with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Reduce the mixer speed to low. Beat in half the flour mixture until just incorporated, followed by one-third of the banana mixture, continue to alternate until all ingredients are incorporated and the batter looks thick and chunky. Be careful not to over mix.
Pour the batter into a prepared 9 inch springform pan. Top with chopped pecans.
Bake for 35 - 45 minutes.

PEAR BANANA BREAD

Pear Banana Bread image

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).
