This Gluten Free Pear and Choc Chip Loaf is incredible! Have you ever gotten sick of plain old banana bread? (Hmm, us neither! 🤣) but anyway, this is a great and different alternative. The pear adds a delicious sweetness and softness when you bite into it.
We bought a whole box of pears down the road for $4! If this was not a sign to make a recipe I am not sure what is! Now that we’re living in Melbourne it’s fantastic to be able to walk to the shops whenever you want something, and the fruit shop always has specials on boxes of fruit and veg awaiting us at the entrance – it’s earth shatteringly awesome.
We made this one gluten free using Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 flour, but you could use all purpose flour if you’re not gluten free and it will work just as well.
This is just such a perfect recipe to have as a morning or afternoon snack with a cup of tea! You could also try out our Gluten Free Apple and Cinnamon Muffins, or if you’re more of a cookie type, try out our Aunties Oat Choc Chip Cookies. You can find all of our numerous cookie recipes here.
Please let us know if you make this! We’d love to see your re-creations on Facebook or Instagram!
