Gluten Free Cranberry Pear Bread

Gluten Free Cranberry Pear Bread is so delicious. I made this tasty bread along with three other Gluten Free treats for those with Celiac or special dietary needs for Christmas last year. I started with my favorite Sour Cream Pound Cake recipe. I changed it up a little bit with spices and added cranberries and pears. I was looking for a way to use up all the extra cranberries I had leftover from holiday baking and came up with this fantastic sweet bread recipe.

First of all, you’ll never be able to tell that this recipe is gluten free. The gluten free flour I used has the same texture as regular flour. The texture is great and I used exactly the same amount of gluten free flour as I would have with regular flour. (So this recipe is interchangeable with regular Cranberry Pear Bread.) Because of the tartness of the cranberries I chose a recipe that already had a LOT of sugar! This recipe uses three cups! I chose to omit any kind of nut in case anyone had nut allergies. I also left out any kind of chips since most of them use ingredients that aren’t helpful for those with digestive issues.

Gluten Free Cranberry Pear Bread is a great fall baking bread once you can get your hands on fresh cranberries (around October or early November). I like to purchase extra bags around that time and freeze them. Then I just pull out one of the bags from the freezer months later and bake up something with cranberries. Yum.

This is a great sweet bread to bring to holiday parties, Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, or to give away to neighbors and friends. You can make it gluten free or not–just switch out the flour for your particular needs. Either way, Gluten Free Cranberry Pear Bread will get your motor revving. 🙂

This sweet bread can be made with either gluten free flour or regular flour. However, if I make it NON-gluten free, I usually use cake flour.

Equipment

  • 7 miniature bread loaf pans
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • measuring spoons
  • measuring cups
  • 1 bamboo skewer or knife, to check bread for doneness

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz. salted butter softened (2 sticks)
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs
  • 8 oz. sour cream
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 3 cups gluten free flour (or cake flour, if not trying to keep the recipe gluten free)
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 2 cups Bartlett pears peeled, cored and diced
  • 2 1/2 cups fresh cranberries (see note below)

Instructions
 

  • Cream butter with an electric mixer; add granulated sugar and eggs, one at a time and mix well.
  • Beat about two minutes to fluff batter and add additional air to the mixture.
  • Mix in gluten free flour thoroughly.
  • Add vanilla extract and cinnamon to batter.
  • Mix baking soda and sour cream together, then add to batter and mix thoroughly.
  • Add pears and cranberries and stir gently into batter.
  • Pour into seven well-greased and floured miniature loaf pans.
  • Bake at 350° for about 60 minutes, or until a knife (or bamboo skewer) inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool completely before removing bread from miniature loaf pans.

Notes

NOTE: I used between 2 ½ to 3 cups of cranberries because I stuffed several cranberries into the tops of the bread pans before baking.
 
NOTE: If you don’t need to keep the recipe gluten free, substitute cake flour for the gluten free flour in the recipe.
