Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease two 8x4-inch loaf pans.

2

In a large mixing bowl, combine oil, sugar and eggs; beat well. Stir in pears, pecans and vanilla.

3

In a separate bowl, combine remaining dry ingredients. Stir dry ingredients into the pear mixture; mix just until combined. Pour batter into prepared loaf pans.

Bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a loaf comes out clean. Allow loaves to cool in pans for 10 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.
