2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
ground
½ teaspoon cloves
ground
¼ teaspoon salt
1 large eggs
2 large egg whites
½ cup brown sugar
packed
*
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
¼ cup honey
3 tablespoons applesauce
1 teaspoon lemon zest
grated
1 cup pears
chopped
*
¾ cup raisins, seedless

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, coat a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Whisk the flour with the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt; set aside.

Beat the egg, egg whites, brown sugar and oil with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.

Add the honey, applesauce and lemon rind and beat again.

If the pears are not juicy, add a few more teaspoons of applesauce.

Stir the flour, pears and raisins into the batter by hand just until combined.

The batter will be dry.

Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

The crust may crack.

Cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.

Turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
