Fresh Pear Bread

My kids have a hard time eating pears by themselves and since we got a lot of them in our recent produce co-op I needed to find something to put them in so they didn't go to waste.  I also wanted to be able to eat it without feeling guilty so I found this low fat/calorie recipe and it turned out great!  I give this recipe a 4!  It's around 148 calories a slice so not bad!  This recipe was also on allrecipes.com but with the full fat ingredients (oil instead of a banana and walnuts instead of oatmeal).

Ingredients

3	eggs
1 1/2	cups sugar
3/4	cup banana, mashed
1	teaspoon vanilla extract
3	cups all-purpose flour
2	teaspoons baking powder
2	teaspoons ground cinnamon
1	teaspoon baking soda
1	teaspoon salt
4	cups pears, peeled, cored and finely chopped
1	teaspoon lemon juice
1	cup oatmeal

Directions

In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, banana  and vanilla; mix well. Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt; stir into the egg mixture just until moistened. Toss pears with lemon juice. Stir pears and oatmeal into batter (batter will be thick). Spoon into two greased 9-in. x 5-in. x 3-in. loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees F for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
