APRICOT COTTAGE CHEESE BRAN BREAD



Apricot Cottage Cheese Bran Bread image

I saw a recipe calling for these three foods stacked together for breakfast.I decided this would be the perfect ingredients for a quick breakfast bread since my family would not find cottage cheese appealing for breakfast.There is plenty of energy producing nutrients in this bread or muffins. I blend the cottage cheese first so it is not lumpy.

Time 45m

Yield 12 muffins, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups cottage cheese, blended
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup dried apricot, diced
2 cups all-bran cereal or 2 cups Special K cereal
2 cups flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
Pam cooking spray

Steps:

  • In medium bowl mix the wet ingredients together. Set aside.
  • In large mixing bowl mix the dry ingredients together.
  • Add the wet ingredients into the dry. Fold in gently.
  • Add the vanilla and fold in gently.
  • Preheat oven 375°F.
  • Spray Pam in glass baking pan or bread pan.
  • Gently pour and spread into pan.
  • You can spray Pam in muffin pans and fill 1/2 to 3/4 full.
  • Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until top springs back when pressed with a finger tip ans sides start pull away from pan.
  • Muffins have shorter baking time, when top start to turn brown and the tops springs back when pressed with a finger tip. Do not overbake muffin, they will be chewy.
  • Note: I prefer to use Special K Cereal, your choice. I have never used the Special K Cereal with the Strawberries in it but I think you could use it along with the apricots.
