This healthy Banana Pear Bread is paleo friendly, doesn't contain any added sugar and is extremely easy to make. It's a moist loaf of bread with a slightly sweet flavor and a great way to use overripe pears.

Banana bread is always a reader favorite. Of course, it's one of my favorites too! And what better way to create a fall inspired banana bread than to use pears?!
And I'm not kidding when I say this is the BEST banana pear bread.
Seriously.
This healthy pear bread is moist, soft and subtly sweet. The only sugar comes from pears and bananas - no added sugar!
Recipe Highlights
- Paleo (grain free, dairy free, refined sugar free)
- gluten free (made with almond flour)
- made without butter or oil
- no added sugar
- moist and tender (no one likes a dry bread!)
- kid friendly (yes, my kids love this recipe)
With a qualities like this, there's truly no better paleo banana pear bread out there! It's healthy enough for breakfast, but also great as dessert when topped with vanilla icing or slathered in nut butter and honey.
Ingredients
Here's a list of what you need to make this gluten free banana pear bread:
- medium-sized ripe banana (yellow with brown spots)
- large ripe pear (I used Bartlett)
- eggs (recipe has not been tested with an egg substitute)
- vanilla extract
- grain free flours: almond, tapioca and coconut flour are needed
- cinnamon
- baking soda
- salt
No recipe substitutions have been test, however tigernut flour should work in place of the almond flour if you need this recipe to be nut free.
Also, any variety of pear should work. I used Bartlett, but Anjou, Bosc and Comice would be great alternatives.
How to Make Banana Pear Bread
This quick bread is made in a food processor or high powered blender and is super easy to make.
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line an 8" x 4" baking pan with parchment paper.
Next, place the banana and pear in a food processor. Blend until the mixture is well processed. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until the batter is well mixed.
Pour the batter into the lined pan and bake! This pear bread takes around 50 - 55 minutes to bake, but it's worth every second!
Storage
Since this bread is super moist and preservative free it needs to be stored in the fridge. Simply slice the loaf and store in a sealed container or baggie for up to one week.
For longer storage, slice and keep in the fridge up to one month.
Banana Pear Bread Toppings
This loaf can be eaten on it's own, or topped with anything from homemade coconut butter to sunflower seed butter. Although this bread isn't overly sweet, it is still a sweet bread. So, the best toppings would be nut or seed butters, coconut butter, honey, maple syrup, dairy free yogurt, ect.
I topped a few slices with a low carb icing made from powdered monk fruit and almond milk. Then, added a few slices of pear, banana and bee pollen.

Hi! How would you recommend to add some protein powder to this recipe? Really excited to try but I always like to add some protein to my
Morning snacks!
Katie says
Hi! I can't say for sure - some protein powders can really change a recipe. But, if I were to try a substitution using pea protein I would probably add 1/4-1/2 cup pea protein, add another egg and then add water if needed. Let me know what you try 🙂
Sara says
the flavour was good, but quite wet. Is there leven missing from the ingredient list?
Katie says
Hi! Did you measure the ingredients by weight? This loaf is moist, but slight changes in ingredients can change the outcome.
Barbara says
I loved this recipe! I substituted tapioca flour for 1/2 cornstarch 1/2 brown rice flour - it worked!
Katie says
I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing your substitutions.
