A-Z Quick Bread image

Fast and easy! Substitute fruit with whatever you have on hand. I still make this quick bread and bring a loaf to each of my daughter's house. When they were little this was a routine after school snack-they could smell the just baked smell which was comforting especially on a cold day! It goes together quick and easy and makes...

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 34

2 c sugar
1 c vegetable oil (i use canola oil)
3 eggs, lightly beaten
2 c a-z ingredients (choose from list)
1 - 2 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
3 c all-purpose flour
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 c chopped walnuts (traditional-or may substitute almonds or pecans)
A-Z INGREDIENTS:
2 c apples, peeled and shredded
2 c applesauce
2 c apricots, (dried)chopped
2 c banana, mashed
2 c blueberries (fresh or frozen-stir in carefully or you'll have blue batter!)
2 c carrots, shredded
2 c coconut
2 c dates, pitted and chopped
2 c figs (dried),chopped
2 c grapes (seedless), chopped
2 c oranges, peeled and chopped
2 c peaches, peeled and chopped
2 c pears, peeled and chopped
2 c pineapple (canned), crushed and drained
2 c prunes, pitted and chopped
2 c pumpkin, canned (not already mixed pumpkin pie in a can) eliminate cinnamon-add pumpkin pie spice
2 c raisins-golden raisins are nice (they are softer and plumper)
2 c raspberries, unsweetened fresh or frozen-stir in carefully so color won't smear
2 c strawberries, fresh or frozen
2 c sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed
2 c zucchini, peeled (or not) and grated (i add pumpkin spice mixture for spice bread)
2 c rhubarb, chopped fresh or frozen

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, oil and eggs; mix well with whisk. Stir in A-Z ingredients of your choice and vanilla,whisk again or stir with spoon if too chunky.
  • 2. In another bowl combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt with a whisk then stir with spoon (no mixer) into bowl with wet ingredients JUST UNTIL MOISTENED-don't overmix or the bread will be tough.
  • 3. Stir in nuts. Pour into two greased (spray lightly with Pam) regular metal loaf pans-(8 inch x 4 inch x 2 inch) Bake at 325 degrees for 55-65 minutes or until a wooden tooth pick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool. **Hint-I use two glass loaf pans-browns nicer than metal-but spray only bottom pan so it will rise in the pan. Not necessary to bake in though-just performs better-and I have made this same recipe for over 30 yrs.
  • 4. Best results are when you wrap it after it's cooled but still slightly warm in foil and wait one day. It will slice beautifully for you-even thin slices!! Although you can certainly eat it before that! Most of the time it doesn't last that long!!!

This bread is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still good.
