Here is the recipe that I use for my tea bread. I want to say

ahead of time that since I try to keep to a low fat and low calorie

diet, for my own personal bread, I will make this even lower in

calories and fat, so I am going to write down the original that I

made for my tea, and next to it, the version that I make for myself.

I think that both are good but that may just be me :0) .

 

CRANBERRY ORANGE TEA BREAD

My version:

1/4 cup Butter or Earth Balance 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup Splenda 1 1/4 tsp powdered Stevia

1 egg or egg replacer for 1 egg 2 egg whites

Juice of 1 orange and water to make 3/4 cup (same for mine)

 

1 cup whole wheat flour 2 cups whole wheat flour

1 cup white flour

2 tsp baking powder same

1/2 tsp baking soda same

1/2 tsp salt same

Grated rind from 1 orange same

1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen Cranberries thawed (same)

1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts same

 

Combine Butter (or alternative), sugar, and egg in mixing bowl and

beat until smooth. Stir in juice.

In second bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda and

salt. Stir in orange rind, cranberries and nuts. Add wet ingredients

and stir until just moistened. Scrape into sprayed 9x5x3 inch loaf

pan and bake in 350 oven for 1 hour or until tester comes out clean.

Depending on the cranberries, I find that sometimes it takes longer

than 1 hour. Let stand 10 mins in pan before turning it out onto rack

to cool. It tastes even better the next day.

*****You can chop up the cranberries or leave them whole. I find that

people prefer them chopped and it seems to cook better when they are

chopped.

I hope that this works out for you all.
