Introduction

This delicious quick bread is somewhere between sweet and savory and contains only 3g of added sugar per serving, as opposed to 13-20 grams of refined sugars in similar quick breads. Practically any puréed fruit can substitute for the pears; unsweeted applesauce, apricots, or even plums would work well!

    Came out moist and a lot more flavorful than I thought possible. Doesn't taste like a "diet" recipe at all! - 3/19/10

    We can't get whole wheat pastry flour here. Does anyone know if regular whole wheat flour would work? Would amount need adjusting? Thanks for the help. - 11/5/11
