I made muffins (24--baked at 350 for 18 minutes, started checking at 15), which just came out of the oven & cooled to eating temp. They are very tasty and moist--and a very forgiving recipe. I had 4 small pears (with bad spots to cut out) and 1 banana, and only plain yogurt. I used a mix of white and wheat flour & fresh nutmeg. Thanks for sharing!

This is a lovely light cake. Reviews said it was really moist I was worried about it being heavy but it wasn't and not too moist either - just right. I doubled the recipe and used four bananas, only 2 ripe pears and I also only added 3/4 c of both sugars. Doubling made a large loaf plus 12 large cupcakes. This recipe is a real 'keeper'.

I increase this by half to get a generous loaf. 3 cups of flour, 3 pears and bananas mashed, 1 extra banana slice and mixed thru the batter. 3 eggs, 1/3 cup yogurt, 3/4 butter (but I forgot the butter completely once and it turned out surprisingly well), 3 eggs, 1.5 tsp vanilla plus the spices. Even increasing the volume of the batter this is always comes in less than 75 minutes. Thanks for a great recipe.
