Servings: 8-10
Ingredients: 3 cups blanched almond flour
¾ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
3 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
? tsp freshly ground black pepper
3 eggs
¼ cup coconut oil
¼ cup maple syrup or honey
1 small pear, peeled & small chop
1 tsp coconut oil
Instructions: Preheat oven to 350. Combine all the dry ingredients into a medium bowl. Stir to blend together. Combine the eggs, coconut oil & maple syrup/honey together. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones. Stir to combine thoroughly.
In a small saute pan, heat over medium. Add 1 tsp of coconut oil & add the peeled, small chop pears. Saute till soft & a little color is added. Don’t worry about this part. I use “saute” liberally as a term. Saute for about 4 minutes.
Take a piece of parchment paper & place inside a loaf pan. I used a 9 inch one. You will push the parchment paper down & along the sides & in the corners. You’ll have some of the paper overlapping. Add ¼ of the batter & spread it evenly the bottom, including the corners. Add ¼ of the pears over the batter. Pour the rest of the batter into the pan. Take the remaining sauteed pears & put them evenly over the batter. Bake for an hour.
Let cool for 10 minutes in pan, then remove by taking hold of the parchment paper & pulling it out of the loaf pan. The parchment should peel off easily. Slice & eat!
This looks like a winner to me. Simple & tasty. The pepper makes it ginger hot. I love it! Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe:)
Glad this worked for you. I never knew this was on here. I actually forgot to add the blackstrap molasses in the recipe here. Here is the updated version: http://www.redeemingthetable.com/home/2011/12/4/sauteed-pear-gingerbread-loaf.html
