It's the perfect time of to make this! Pear's are at their peak right now and it's getting cooler, which is a great time to bake.
I have made a lot of these recently, and banana bread, and have been giving them out as gifts to everyone.
They taste sooo good, it's almost like dessert.
How to make it:
Butterscotch Sauce Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup butter
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 3 tbsp whipping cream
- Cook butter and brown sugar over medium heat in a saucepan, stirring, until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved.
- Remove from heat and stir in the cream.
- Let cool at room temperature for about 45 minutes.
Loaf Ingredients:

- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs, whisked

- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 3/4 cups flour (I used whole wheat, but feel free to use white!)
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 cups diced pears
Directions:
- In a large bowl, beat butter with both sugars until fluffy.
- Beat in eggs and vanilla until just combined.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients, then stir it into the wet bowl mixture.
- Stir in the pears and half the butterscotch sauce.
