How to Make Pear Banana Bread Low Fat

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two medium-sized loaf pans.
  2. In a large bowl (or stand mixer with whisk attachment), mash 3 ripe bananas and 2 ripe pears until mostly smooth. A few lumps are okay!
  3. Add 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, 2 large eggs (or flax egg substitute for vegan option), 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup vegetable oil to the mashed fruit. Mix on medium speed (or whisk vigorously by hand) until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the remaining 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in any optional nuts or dried fruits.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans. Tap the pans gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
  7. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before baking.
  8. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
