I love making seasonal baked goods! There are so many people to give to, so many new recipes to make–it is simply a great way to spread joy and health. I (almost) always make my baked goods sugar-free and sweeten with fruit or stevia. I have a giveaway for NuNaturals stevia going on here if you want to enter:

1 small pear, unsteamed
2 eggs

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Mix buckwheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and stevia in a large bowl
3. In a small bowl, mash 2 steamed and add in 2 eggs and vanilla
4. Chop the remaining pear into small chunks
5. Pour the wet into the dry ingredients and mix until almost combined
6. Add in the chopped pear and stir until fully mixed
7. Pour into a greased baking loaf pan (top with a sprinkling of oats if you want)
8. Bake in oven for approximately 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean
