It's no secret that my tall man would subsist on carbs and meat alone if he could. I knew he would love this week's Dorie treat. I enlisted my little man to help me make it and it was super easy- even when my brain feels so fried from the heat that I'm practically forgetting to cook at all! Everyone loved it (especially baby strawberry- I made her a special mini loaf sans nuts). I'm still more partial to banana bread, I'll be honest. But I'm keeping this recipe up my sleeve for the next time my husband is begging for some carbs! Grab the recipe from Natalie.
Notes: I used one apple, peeled and diced, for the fruit and baked the batter into four mini loaves. They took about forty minutes in the oven and would do great in the freezer! Next time I'll add a little whole wheat flour. No one will notice, promise.
what a cute little loaf! thank you so much for baking with me, anne!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of apple! Great substitution! Looks great. :)
ReplyDeleteI seriously thought about apple chunks in this one. Glad to know it works. I went with banana and chocolate chip muffins. Anyway you cut it, these are yummy!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Susan--apple was a good idea!
ReplyDeletes right up my alley, I wish I could get my toddler to try my baking!

Great adaptation with the apples. I love the mini loaves. This was definitely a keeper!
ReplyDeleteGotta love the mini loaves!! The apple sounds tasty!
ReplyDeleteYour bread looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThey look lovely as mini loaves, and apple chunks sound like a great addition.
ReplyDelete:)
Wishing I would have done mini loaves. :)
ReplyDeleteMini loaves are uber cute! I have to invest in one soon :) Great variation!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh! So Sweet! Love the special mini-loaf for your little girl. Diced apples do sound delicious. We loved this recipe.
ReplyDeleteSo cute and great idea to use apple!
ReplyDeleteAdorable little loaves. And how sweet to make one for your baby. Mine is eating nuts now, so he just shoved a muffin in his mouth. And I think this would be the perfect recipe to sneak in a little whole wheat flour - maybe next time!
ReplyDeleteThe second time I made it I used half apple sauce and and mashed banana. Great flavour.
ReplyDeleteLove your mini loaves!
Wait, wouldn't everyone subsist solely on carbs if given the choice? Hmmm just me? Your mini loaf is super cute! And apple was a great idea!
ReplyDeleteLooks really, really tasty, Anne. And the apple substitution is a great one. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteI made this twice. Once as written, but in an 8x8 pan as coffee cake. And again subbing banana for the applesauce and adding lots of chocolate. GOOD!
ReplyDeleteGlad you found another carb for your man.
Looks so good. I've been looking for something to do with my apples!
ReplyDeletethat looks like a super scrummy loaf-- i wish i had a piece! i think i forgot to say it in my blog post, but i swapped in a bit of whole wheat, and it worked super well here.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of the apples.
ReplyDeleteI bet the one for Baby Strawberry was cute.
