Notes

  • If desired, you can omit whole wheat flour and sub with entirely all-purpose flour. 
  • Flax meal can be substituted with almond meal. This provides extra nutrition and a moist crumb. 
  • Feel free to use peeled or unpeeled diced pears; it is up to you. 
  • Feel free to incorporate any add-ins you'd like: toasted chopped pecans or chocolate chips are a great choice.
