Breakfast Bread

I love baking. I really do. I like the smell of it, the excitement the kids get from grabbing beaters and bowl to "clean up" after....I just really, really love to bake. And I especially love any recipe where I can cut some sugar and sneak in a little healthy sweetness. This bread lets me do that, and it tastes so, so good! This would also be great with a little less cinnamon and some blueberries.

Breakfast Bread:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, grease your loaf pan! **I used one pan, but you could easily use two**

1 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 egg
1 cup sugar
2 tbs softened butter
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1-2 tsp cinnamon sugar, to taste (which means a taste of this yummy batter!)

Combine first five ingredients well, then add flour,baking soda, cinnamon and cinnamon sugar. Pour into greased loaf p[an and bake 40-50 mins. Do not over bake or this will become a very dry bread- watch closely after 40 mins. I learned this the hard way, first time around! LOL

Great warmed with butter or just plain.

That DOES sound good! I've been on a psuedo-scone kick lately. My best friend makes biscotti from her grandmother's recipe, and we decided to tweak it and make something wetter, and only baked once out of it. The result? Cranberry-Orange and Walnut Bis-Scones!
