Instructions

• 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an 8-inch square glass baking dish with butter.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground allspice, ground cardamom, ground ginger, grated nutmeg, and salt.

Gently fold in the diced pears, canned pumpkin puree, chopped toasted pecans, and vanilla extract. Transfer the batter into the prepared dish.
