Receta APPLE CINNAMON OATMEAL BREAD
I needed to take a sweet treat to a visit with my cousin recently. Although it is not Fall by any means, I found this quick bread in my files to try. Even in summertime this tasted pretty good and was a hit.
APPLE CINNAMON OATMEAL BREAD
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup oatmeal (I used old-fashioned, not quick)
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
3/4 oil
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup applesauce (I would recommend chunky as the regular did not have a strong flavor)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
ICING/GLAZE
2 Tablespoons butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 Tablespoons heavy cream
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
In a large bowl combine dry ingredients and mix well. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, sour cream, applesauce and vanilla. Combine wet ingredients to dry and mix well until blended. Add nuts if desired. Pour into a greased 9 inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until middle tests dry. Let cool. Prepare icing/glaze.
For icing/glaze, in a saucepan add butter, brown sugar and cream. Bring to a boil. Stir until sugar melts, about 1 minute. Remove and add powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Might need to add more cream to make good consistency. Spread on cooled bread. Can sprinkle pecans on top if desired.
