Eggless Whole Wheat Pear Bread- Vegan Quick Bread, No Sugar Added, #BreadBakers
I m baking with Bread Bakers after a long hiatus. Thanks to December and the baking fever, I joined. The theme for this month's bread was also interesting, Fresh Fruit and No White sugar. That made me more interested, i chose to bake a pear quick bread. I have used mejdool dates and honey as sweetners. In case you dont want to use honey, do increase the dates 6 or even 8 to get a sweeter bread.
I have flavored the bread with some ginger, cardamom and cloves. The warm spices makes it a perfect bread for the season. The bread was perfectly sweet for us, we enjoyed it warm as such. A lovely bread for a scrumptious breakfast or can also as an evening snack with some hot coffee.
Ingredients
1 cup Whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoon honey (avoid for a vegan version)
1 tablespoon flaxmeal , mixed with ¼ cup of water
2 normal sized pears
4-5 nos mejdool dates (increase to 8, incase omitting honey)
1 teaspoon ginger powder
6-8 cardamom, pounded
3 cloves, pouned
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup oil
2 normal sized pears
4-5 nos mejdool dates (increase to 8, incase omitting honey)
1 teaspoon ginger powder
6-8 cardamom, pounded
3 cloves, pouned
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup oil
Method
- Wash the pears, i didnt peel the skin, if you dont like the skin in your bakes, do peel. Core and Chop the pears roughly.
- Take the chopped pears along with mejdool dates, in a mixer and blend it to a smooth paste.
- Take this paste in a bowl, add oil , flax egg and vanilla extract to it and whisk well.
- In another bowl, take together flour, baking soda and powder, freshly pounded cardamom and cloves. Whisk well to combine.
- Slowly add the dry mix to the wet in batches and using a spatula, whisk the flour into the wet mix. Take care not to mix vigorously, and mix in single direction.
- Pour the batter into the prepared tin, bake inthe preheated oven for around 40-45 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Once done, remove the loaf and let it sit for 5 minutes, then using a blunt knife loosen the sides of the bread from the tin, then slowly unmould the cake onto a wire rack. Enjoy a warm slice with a hot cup of coffee or tea.

This sounds delicious! Dates definitely are great for sweetening.

I love pear desserts but it's the first time I've heard of pear bread. The colour and texture is beautiful and I can imagine how delightful it must taste.
What a wonderful artificial sugar free loaf.Adding dates to it makes the bread taste so earthy. I love pears in bakes and this loaf sounds so delicious.
I have used pears in desserts like pies, crumbles.. in bread recipe never.. your peach bread looks so well baked with such a lovely texture!! I am sure it’s yummy too!!
Your post reminds me I have not baked any bread lately, a wholewheat bread without any refined sugar sounds amazing. Perfectly baked!
The bread looks absolutely delicious and moist. Thanks for sharing a healthy and sugar free recipe .
I adore dates, although the problem can be that I eat more of them than what I put in the recipe. I will try and contain myself as I really want to try this flavor combination.
