Had to Share

I know some of you have recipe blogs. Others of you have wildly delectable recipes committed to memory. No matter, I just happen to know that many of you are amazing cooks. As I post about favorite pasta, sandwiches, soups, whatnot, please feel free to share some of your "best of's" from your own personal treasures. Please do! Particularly if they are baked goods, desserts, or vegetarian. So in that spirit...

This is the most amazing bread. So moist, so delicious. I mean, it is wonderful. I was looking for something to do with the fresh blueberries in my fridge, but I didn't want a boring muffin or crumb-top coffee cake (no disrespect to crumb tops), and I didn't want to make something too sweet like a crumble, crisp, or pie. I found this recipe. It is my new favorite.

I recommend mixing all of the ingredients by hand so that the eggs are fluffy and nothing is over-mixed. Fold the fruits in gently. I really didn't change much of anything--just the amount of apple used (I used more) and the spices (again, I used a little more). If you want the original recipe and not the one here with my "revisions," let me know. 

And as for crumb toppings, this bread would be excellent with one.

Enjoy!
