This bread is a bit dense for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more liquid next time.

This bread is a nice change from the usual banana bread or zucchini bread. It's a great way to use up leftover pears.

This bread is a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not usually a fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed this bread. The coconut flavor is subtle and complements the pears perfectly.
