Ingredients:
- 2 cups blanched almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 large, organic free-range eggs
- 1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup melted, unsalted, grass-fed butter
- 1 cup grated sugar belle de jumet pear
- 1 pear, thinly sliced lengthwise
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a loaf pan with baking paper, overlapping the edges.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1/3 cup maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir to combine. Fold in the grated pear.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula. Arrange the pear slices on top of the batter, slightly overlapping them.
Bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and brush the remaining 2 tablespoons of maple syrup on top. This will create a glossy and sticky glaze.
Return the loaf to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the glaze is set and golden.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then lift it out using the parchment paper and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy!
