Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces ripe pears, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 pieces eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Peel and chop your ripe pears into small, uniform pieces.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped pears until evenly distributed.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  2. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan before slicing into squares.
  4. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Consider substituting the eggs with flaxseed meal mixed with water or applesauce for a vegan version. Keep an eye on baking time to avoid dryness and ensure a fluffy texture by not skipping the creaming step.
