Applesauce Bread

This bread sounds super healthy but, don't worry, it tastes super yummy!  We love bread for breakfast, so this has become a great addition to our repertoire!  Thanks to a friend for sharing it with me.

- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (I use white wheat flour)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon  (I use a bit more of this and the nutmeg.)
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 3/4 cup applesauce
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- dried cranberries (my addition)


Mix dry ingredients.  Make a well in the center and add applesauce, eggs, and butter.  Stir well.  Then mix in the dried cranberries (or even add some nuts or dried cranberries and raisins or....)  Pour into a buttered pan or stone.  Bake for 45-55 minutes at 350, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

I have said it with every bread I make; we love our carb-loaded breakfasts at this house!  This one is healthy enough to make me not feel guilty about that.  I also feel like this bread is a great base to add in whatever you like.  So, if you try something I didn't think of, let me know!  (This comes from the website Heavenly Homemaker.)
