  1. Catherine good. I used only halfgar. Beand pear it w enough. says

    pears in addition to bananas. There is a sugar walnut topping .

    I looked at the recipe and thought it didn’t call for as much flour as several I’ve baked with bananas and fruit. The texture is very moist. Good flavor. I used about half the sugar because the fruit was really ripe/sweet.

    Enjoy.

    Just made this yummy recipe, made it into muffins though. Had to make pear sauce because I didn’t have apple sauce (grocery store is closed today). Very easy & delicious! Will add to my recipe collection, especially since I have a pear tree!

    Thank you for the inspiration! I had an overwhelming amount of mashed banana that I had worked into loaves, one with chocolate and one with pineapple. There was still more banana and one pear sitting on my counter – I wasn’t sure but then saw your recipe. Yes! I even had some pear sauce (got too lazy to can them last year so they all became sauce) and used it in place of the apple sauce. I also turned them into muffins as my other tins were in the oven. Yummy! Thank you!

    thanks much!
