Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cups Whole milk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Pears (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoons Ground cinnamon (for the swirl)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and 0.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar and melted butter until well combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.

Step 5

Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Gently fold in the diced pears.

Step 8

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon to make the swirl mixture.

Step 9

Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.

Step 10

Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-brown sugar mixture over the batter in the pan.

Step 11

Pour the remaining batter on top and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-brown sugar mixture on top.

Step 12

Use a butter knife or skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon-sugar mixture into the batter for a marbled effect.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 14

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 15

Serve as is or with a smear of butter. Enjoy!
