I didn’t know what to do with all these pears I acquired from my mom after visiting her during this pandemic, so I googled a recipe for easy pear bread, and this recipe was intriguing to me because of the cardamom; plus, I have it on hand.
I followed exactly the amount of ingredients and instructions on the list.
Wow! These bread came out moist, soft and scrumptious. As for the crumble on one of the bread, I added 1/4 cup chopped walnuts for a little more crunch & texture.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipe.

Pears are a feast or famine thing around here–I love it when my neighbor-with-a-pear-tree gives me a big bag . . . until I’m staring at that big bag and wondering what the heck I’m gonna do with all those pears! Pear butter, pear chutney will put up some of it, sure. But this looks wonderful. And I love cardamom from my time in Finland so I know it tastes terrific.
Thanks, Lauren!

In reply to Jen. Canola or vegetable oil should be fine, but you can't taste the coconut in the bread at all.

can I use canola oil instead of coconut? Never used coconut oil and I’m the only family member that likes coconut. Will you taste it in the bread?

I concur, cardamom + pear is divine…and what’s not to love about quick breads? The best. Can’t wait to make this 🙂

I do the same thing, Lauren. I walk into Wegman’s and I’m like Julie Andrews on the mountain top in the Sound of Music, tossing fruits into my cart and thinking, “I can TOTALLY eat all of this!” I LOVE the idea of a quick bread to use up fruit and you KNOW how I feel about cardamom! TOTAL WIN.

Pear and cardamom sound like a delicious combination.

I love pear bread and have actually made it from canned pears as well! Not a huge fan of cardamom, so I’d sub cinnamon, but I agree, pears make great quick bread!! The crumble looks yummy!

I wonder if I can do this same thing with mangoes…I have some on my counter that are a bit past their prime! Great idea!

I might have to make that if they give us pears again this week for my CSA pickup! For the grapefruits? Make curd!
