Quick Molasses Bread

For a quick, tasty bread for breakfast, the molasses* wheat bread is perfect. It does not just taste good, but the molasses substituted for sugar also makes this bread a healthy choice for my family. The bread freezes well, and the taste improves the next day. However, this bread will disappear quickly when it comes out from the oven.

Ingredients:
Dry ingredients:
1 cup wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
Wet ingredients:
1 egg
1/2 cup molasses
1/4 cup honey
1 cup milk
1/2 cup apple sauce
2 tbs coconut oil for greasing the pan

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°.
Use the coconut oil to grease a 9” x 5” loaf pan and set aside.
Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
Combine the wet ingredients and beat well.
Add the wet to the dry ingredients and stir to combine (I use the method of counting from 1 to 50 while stirring to determine the necessary amount of stirring).

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 30 to 40 minutes.

Remove and serve.
