Recipe: Pear and raspberry loaf

September 15, 2015 by Shari

Now, I have a paleo pear and raspberry recipe on this blog. But this is a pear and raspberry loaf recipe that also uses up that odd banana or two that you have sitting on your kitchen counter. You know, last week your children were crazy for bananas – you couldn’t keep up with their needs. And then this week, if you mention that they might like to stop and have some banana they reply with ‘Mum, that’s DISGUSTING!’

Okay, well what am I going to do with all the bananas that I picked up thinking that my children were going to power through them? Bake of course!

Now, I have placed this recipe in my ‘breakfast’ and in my ‘dessert’ category. Sometimes, this pear and raspberry loaf is a quick and easy option to grab before I head out the door to our morning activity.  I’ve spent the morning; changing nappies, prompting the use of the potty, making two or three different breakfast options, hiding the milo {because Mr Moo actually drinks plain milk despite Daddy always calling for ‘choccie milk’}, helping the Little Dude to actually get the food into his mouth {rather then all over the floor}, quickly steam mopping of under the table/highchair,  getting two little people dressed, brushing hair and teeth, wiping faces {oh man, my kids hate having their faces wiped} and packing/repacking the baby bag.

There often isn’t time for me to sit down and enjoy a compete meal – and the truth of the matter is that on most mornings, all I want to do is get out the door and find a place that makes an awesome soy latte.

Now if I’ve got a little time up my sleeve then I might sit down to some muesli and poached with vanilla and cinnamon {but if I have gotten to the end of the week and I haven’t had the opportunity to eat those pears, which I poached on a Sunday night, then I can pop them into this loaf}. I might just call it my ‘waste not, want not’ loaf.

PEAR AND RASPBERRY BREAD

1 cup of mashed banana {if you don’t have banana you can substitute with pear puree}
1 cup of poached pears {roughly diced}
1 1/2 cups self-raising flour, sifted
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup frozen raspberries

Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Grease a 15cm x 25cm loaf pan and line with non-stick baking paper.

Place dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add egg, oil, raspberries, mashed banana and chopped pears. Gently fold together until just combined. Fill prepared loaf pan. Bake for 60-65 mins until cooked when tested. Cool bread in pan. Store in an airtight container.

Have you found any frozen raspberries that are from Australia? Do you poach your own pears? Do you freeze your own raspberries? Are you a morning person? What do you normally have for breakfast? If you make any of my loaves from ‘SWEET SEPTEMBER’ I would love to see them on Instagram using the hashtag #GoodFoodWeek.

Family meals for my tribe of 6
Hi guys 👋🏻 I seem to have had a few new foll Hi guys 👋🏻 I seem to have had a few new followers of late. I wonder if you’re here because of my reels?? (And if so, you’ll probably also want to follow @smallbusinessgrowthclub )

If you are new… here is a little intro… I’m Shari - a mum of four small boys (although their little hands seem to be getting better and bigger). They are nine, seven, five and three.

I whip up quick and easy meals for my family. I currently work full time and so the content juggle is real 😩

But the thing is, I actually also have a blog - www.GoodFoodWeek.com.au - so you can drop by there for some of my tried and tested favourites. I’m fact, this Spanish beef is one of the most viewed recipes on the blog!

And if you aren’t new - I’d love to hear what are some of your favourite recipes from my blog.

How does it feel like this was just a moment ago? And yet also a lifetime ago? It’s been 10 years to be precise…

Thanks for being by my side, day in and day out @phillipujdur
I mean, we did celebrate our 10th wedding annivers I mean, we did celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary in style with @huntervalleyhelicopters …

But today, it’s back to reality of work and school drop offs/pick ups and sick children 🤧- so we decided to throw ourselves a little pizza party thanks to @mccain_au
Snacks, snacks, snacks - what snacks are doing dow Snacks, snacks, snacks - what snacks are doing down well in your household at the moment?

I feel like the boys have had an overload of chocolate and I want to take it back to healthier alternatives… 

But in our household, I feel like everyone goes through stages. One week they’ll eat all the bananas in one day, so the following week I’ll order 3kgs instead of 1kg and no one will eat banana 🤦🏼‍♀️

I mean, I freeze them for smoothies or make banana bread so they don’t go to waste. 

But I’m keen to hear what snacks are popular in your household at the moment?

I’ve been reading a lot about self love of late. I feel like there is so much self sacrifice when you’re a mother, and yet I am starting to realise that I need to love myself first to be a better mum and partner.

So here is to starting with something small for me. These @byronbaycookies are the business!!

GoodFoodWeek started in 2008 as a way of sharing recipes with uni friends and family who were spread near and far. It has evolved over the years to contain my ramblings as I’ve searched for a house, planned the perfect veggie patch, stumbled through farmer’s markets with my eye half open (because you need to be there at 6am to get the fresh eggs), had babies, gathered family and friends around a shared table, laughed out loud and enjoyed life to the fullest!
