Almond Pear Bread #BreadBakers

Almond Pear Bread bakes ripe red pears into an almond quick bread. Delicious for breakfast, brunch or late night snack.

Welcome to another fun addition of Bread Bakers!

I’m so happy to be hosting June #BreadBakers ! This month we’re showing off our best breads made with nut meal and nut flours. Nut flour in its purest form is simply finely ground nuts like almonds and hazelnuts.
I replace between 1/4 and 1/3 of the flour with nut meal when baking.

The nuts add moisture, oils, nutrition and texture. Although peanuts aren’t actually “nuts” but legumes, powdered peanuts bring the same great additions to the mix!
