Ingredients

3 eggs * lightly beaten
2 cups A to Z ingredient
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
3 cups flour
2 teas ground cinnamon *
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
t tsp salt

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl add sugar, oil, and eggs and mix well. Stir in A to Z ingredient and vanilla.
2. In another bowl add in the dry ingredients: combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix.
3. Gradually stir dry ingredients into liquid ingredients just until moistened.
4. Pour into 2 greased loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes. Insert a knife in the center; if it comes out clean, bread is done. OR pour into muffin tin pans and bake for 25-35 minutes.
A to Z ingredient Options:
apples, peeled and shredded / applesauce / dried apricots, chopped / bananas, mashed / carrots, shredded / coconut / dates, pitted and chopped / figs, dried and chopped / grapes / oranges / peaches / canned pineapple, drained and crushed / prunes / pumpkin / raisins / raspberries, fresh or frozen / rhubarb, fresh or frozen / strawberries / sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed / zucchini, peeled and grated.

Notes

* If I am low on butter I tend to use coconut oil as my replacement, but vegetable oil also works.
* For added nutrients I normally use 1 whole egg and make 2 "flax eggs" which would be 2 Tablespoons of ground flax seed and 6 Tablespoons of water
(1T flax + 3T water= 1 egg)
* If I am making pumpkin bread or using squash I will use switch cinnamon out for pumpkin pie spice.
* Feel free to add in 1/2 cup of chopped nut straight into the batter or sprinkle on top before baking!
