1. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees and lightly grease a loaf pan with butter. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon; mix with a fork. If using nuts, take 1/4 cup of the flour mixture and mix it with chopped walnuts in a small bowl. Peel the pears, remove the cores, and grate them until you have about 2 cups.
