½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Peel and core pear. Grate pear flesh into a bowl.
Mix brown sugar and butter in a bowl with an electric mixer until well blended. Mix in eggs, then add bananas and pear. Gradually mix in flour and baking soda. Add vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, and almond extract; mix until just combined. Pour into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out fairly clean, about 1 hour.
