Pear Oat Honey Loaf

Ingredients

• 2 pears, diced
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup (120 ml) plain yogurt
• 1/3 cup (80 ml) honey
• 1 cup (120 g) plain flour
• 3/4 cup (75 g) rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon baking powder

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, and honey until smoothly combined.
3. Stir in the flour, oats, and baking powder until just incorporated.
4. Gently fold in the diced pears, being careful not to overmix.
5. Spoon the batter into a lined loaf tin and smooth the top evenly.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Allow the loaf to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Pro Tips

• Make sure your pears are ripe for the best sweetness and moisture.
• Avoid overmixing the batter after adding the dry ingredients to keep the loaf tender.
• You can sprinkle some oats on top before baking for an appealing look.

Healthier or Lighter Swaps

• Swap out plain flour for whole wheat flour to increase the nutritional value.
• Reduce the amount of honey slightly if you prefer a less sweet loaf.
• Add a handful of nuts or seeds for extra crunch and nutrition.
