Pear-Ginger Loaf with Oat Streusel
- Preheat the oven to 175 °C (Ober-/Unterhitze; 160 °C fan). Grease a loaf pan with butter 5 g and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- For the streusel, rub together rolled oats 30 g, brown sugar 25 g, butter 20 g and cinnamon 1 g with your fingertips in a small bowl until crumbly. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together egg 2, brown sugar 120 g, butter 100 g, vanilla extract 5 ml and Schmand 60 g until smooth. Stir in pear 3.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour 150 g, whole wheat flour 100 g, baking powder 5 g, baking soda 2 g, ground ginger 3 g, cinnamon 2 g and salt 2 g.
- Tip the dry ingredients into the wet ones and stir just until no dry flour remains. Fold in walnuts 60 g.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top. Bake ⏲ 55–65 minutes, until a toothpick pushed into the centre comes out clean. If the streusel darkens too quickly, tent the top loosely with foil.
- Let cool in the pan for ⏲ 20 minutes. Run a paring knife around the edges, lift the loaf out onto a wire rack, and let it finish cooling. Peel off the parchment before slicing.
