[recipe*] Pecan Apricot Bread

[Guest guest]

My favorite quick bread recipes are the ones

that make more than one loaf; that way you can

enjoy one right away and still have something

delicious to share or save for later!

 

This recipe is one of my favorites. I enjoy that it

has yummy oats, chewy apricots, sweet bananas and

crunchy pecans.

Give it a try soon, you won't regret it.
