Shortly after the Peanut was born, one of the gals from my Bunco group brought over a meal for my family for dinner. (Sidenote--I never realized what a blessing that is, of course until I had my own Peanut. I just did not feel like cooking, so to all those that helped in that way...thank you again. I have made sure to pay it forward. :) In addition to the dinner, she also brought us this wonderful breakfast bread. At least we ate it for breakfast. Anyhow, it was so good. I called her up shortly after to get the recipe. And I have made it again and again. And now I am sharing with you so you can make it again and again too.
The only thing about it is that if making a loaf, it takes nearly an hour to bake and I am not like the pioneer women who in their day, got up at o'dark thirty to prepare the morning meal. So I bake these as muffins instead. And they are just as tasty.
Oatmeal Tea Bread (or Muffins)
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. You will need:
1/4 cup milk
2 eggs
1/3 cup oil
1 1/4 cup applesauce
1 cup oats (quick or old fashioned, it doesn't matter)
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cinnamon (I usually do more)
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 cup flour
Mix together the wet indgredients. Sift together dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Mix both together until just moistened. Pour into sprayed loaf pan or muffin tins.
Topping:
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp chopped pecans
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Mix together and sprinkle over loaf or muffins prior to baking. Bake loaf for approximately one hour or bake muffins for about 20 minutes.
Slather in butter (me--I never do that) and enjoy!
