Quick post to share a wonderful recipe I found online. With only 3 Tbsp of oil in 2 loaves, I thought for sure this would be too dry, but it wasn’t! I did add an extra banana that I had frozen. I only had a cup of blueberries, so I threw in a cup of raspberries. I forgot to add the pecans to the batter, so I spread them over the top and pushed them down a little.
They baked much faster than the time in this recipe, so check them super early
Delicious! Lowfat! YUM!

- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon– I used 1/4 tsp heaped
- 1/4 cup coconut– I used unsweetened
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup milk- I used a little more milk due to the ww pastry flour
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoonsvanilla

This bread is so…pretty! I want to try it and see if it tastes pretty too ;p I haven’t made very many fruit bread type things, but does this taste like a bread, or something like a muffin? Either way, I’m sure it’s delicious.

Oh, I think it tastes mighty perty! I would say it’s more like a muffin–banana bread.
Thanks for dropping by Angelnina’s cottage!

Nearly went this route the other night, ended up going with strawberries and toasted pecans. I was wondering how the blueberries and raspberries would work, now I’ll have to try this recipe out!

I think the raspberries are a great addition both in color and in taste. This looks like one wonderful bread and I hope to make it soon.
