Whole Wheat Pumpkin Pear Quick Bread

Whole Wheat Pear Quick Bread with hints of pumpkin, cinnamon, and ginger. It’s a feast for your senses and your tastebuds. 

This Pear Quick Bread might be technically a dessert more than a breakfast, but I think it could work for both. There are lots of healthy things going on in here, but there is a little bit of sugar as well. Sometimes it’s nice to start your day off with a little sweetness, right?  It pairs wonderfully with your morning cup of joe or tea or Teeccino (decaf herbal tea, roasted and ground to brew just like coffee).

Sometimes whole wheat flour can make things pretty dense and dry, but the pumpkin and pear keep this quick bread super moist.  Seriously, ditch that all purpose white flour and give this a try!
