Old-fashioned banana spice bread
Bread
This is a great bread for those who want something sweet but don't want to overdose on sugar and white flour products, and also for anyone who enjoys a good, moist fruit bread for breakfast. I've made this bread with no oil or butter to keep the fat content low, and very little sugar, because the natural sugars in the fruit give it a simple sweetness that is very appealing AND healthy. It is also higher in fiber because of the oatmeal, whole wheat and dried fruits, so you can have a healthy, tasty treat without guilt! We love this bread after a soup dinner, with a pat of 1/2 fat margarine while warm, or, sliced and toasted in the morning with a spread of apple butter and a big cuppa coffee. It is always disappears fast at parties and luncheons, and the fragrance of all the fruit and spices will make your kitchen smell heavenly! The measurements of the spices are approximate because I usually just toss in what looks and tastes good to me, so feel free to improvise there. By the way, I know the list of ingredients seems long, but honestly, I make this bread often and it always goes pretty quickly, and is in the oven in no time at all, sending a wonderful scent through the house and drawing people into the kitchen to see what you're making...
