I am bringing a meal to one of my sister’s friends today (that my sister made). I decided to do some baking yesterday to add to it. I searched through my recipe box and found an old recipe for cinnamon applesauce bread. I don’t even remember if I’ve ever made it. I’m pretty sure I’ve had the recipe since before I got married. It was very easy to make. And it tastes very good!! I was able to use my mixer…with no problems! The recipe is for a loaf of bread. I made muffins instead (then I can give most of them away but keep a few for us to try :). We had some for breakfast today. Yum!

**Edited 4-9-10 – I made this in loaf form yesterday. Very good! A fairly dense bread, but moist and sweet. I used raisin bran (natural version) and added raisins. A very easy bread. Great to make wtih kids.

Cinnamon Applesauce Bread

1 1/2 cups flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1 egg
1 cup chunky applesauce (I happened to have about 1 cup left in a jar of homemade chunky applesauce in the fridge)
3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2/3 cup skim milk (I used 1%)
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil (I used canola)
1 1/2 cups bran flakes (I used Wheaties)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1/2 cup raisins (my optional addition…I just added them to the few we were keeping)

Mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl beat the egg. Stir in the applesauce, sugar, milk and oil. Add to flour mixture. Stir until moistened (batter will be lumpy). Stir in cereal (and walnuts/raisins).

Pour inot a greased 9×5 loaf pan. (I poured it into 12 paper lined muffin cups.)

Bake at 350 for 55 min., or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean (I did about 30 min. for the muffins). Cool 10 min. Remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.

    Yum, these look and sound great! Carson walked in and saw the picture of them and said “yummy muffins. I have one?” He was pretty disappointed when I told him you had made them and they were at your house… he stood there a minute and then said “hmmm. let’s go visit Aunt Mary!” Haha! 🙂
