Pear Zucchini Bread-Chunks of juicy pear make every bite of this zucchini bread extra yummy!
Recipe for zucchini bread with chunks of juicy pear in every bite.

The box of pears that my parents gave me is finally ripening, so we have been enjoying fresh pears at our house. Yum!! We also have a few zucchini left, so I immediately thought of this recipe. I didn’t have any pears last year, so I didn’t get to make it. It was great to be able to make it again; it smells so yummy while it is baking. It’s nice an moist and has a mild spice to it. Just perfect for fall!

Zucchini Bread with chunks of fresh pears
 
Yesterday morning a few of us got together to help sort box tops for the elementary school. I brought this for us to snack on. As I was leaving, my friend said, “This is a keeper, make sure you post it on your blog.”  So here you go Kris!

Total Time 1 hour 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups peeled, diced pears
  • 1 cup grated zucchini
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 eggs, beaten

Instructions

  1. Whisk the pears, zucchini, sugars, eggs, oil, and vanilla.
  2. Combine the dry ingredients and stir in. Add pecans if desired.

    I made it as something to do during the Coronavirus. It was tasty.

    I don’t understand how the last two reviews thought this recipe needed more liquid. I made it today exactly as written, with the 3/4 cup of oil option. It came out perfectly. A very typical quick bread batter consistency. I made a dozen muffins and 1 full size loaf. So delicious. A good way to use up our bumper crop of pears.

    Delicious! I mixed it in the mixer and added the zucchini and pears at the end so it added the extra moisture.

    Is this missing a liquid? It seemed very dry so I added 1/2 c yogurt. Turned out well but probably would add more next time
