1 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
3/4 cup vegetable oil
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups finely chopped peeled ripe pears

DIRECTIONS

In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. In another bowl, beat eggs, oil and vanilla. Add the pears and zucchini. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in nuts. Pour into two greased 9-in. x 5-in. x 3-in. loaf pans.
