Time 55m

Yield 4 mini loafs, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup milk
1 cup butter, softened
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
3/4 tablespoon lemon juice (I use fresh squeezed)
3/4 tablespoon orange juice (I use fresh squeezed)
3 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease bottom only of 4 mini loaf pans (I buy the disposable foil ones for Farmer's Market use).
  • In a large mixer bowl combine all bread ingredients. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until all ingredients are mixed well; about three minutes total.
  • Pour into prepared pans.
  • Bake 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of loaf comes out clean.
  • Place bread on wire rack to cool.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl stir together glaze ingredients.
  • Drizzle glaze over warm bread.
  • If you use regular metal bread pans, allow the bread to cool 10 minutes then loosen around the edge with a knife. Carefully tip the loaves over and remove bread from pans. Place them on the wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • To ensure a moist and flavorful loaf, use fresh citrus fruits. Grapefruit, lemon, and orange zest add a burst of citrusy flavor, while freshly squeezed orange juice keeps the loaf moist.
  • For a lighter loaf, use nonfat Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Greek yogurt is a great source of protein and calcium, and it helps to keep the loaf moist without adding unnecessary fat.
  • If you don't have a loaf pan, you can bake the loaf in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly. The loaf may take a few minutes longer to bake in a baking dish.
  • To make a gluten-free loaf, use gluten-free flour instead of all-purpose flour. Be sure to check the label of the gluten-free flour to make sure it is a good substitute for all-purpose flour.
  • This loaf can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the loaf for up to 3 months. To freeze the loaf, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then place it in a freezer-safe bag.

Conclusion:

Weight Watchers Citrus Loaf is a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. It is low in fat and calories, and it is a good source of fiber and vitamin C. This loaf is also easy to make, and it can be customized to your liking. Whether you enjoy it plain or with a dollop of yogurt or honey, this loaf is sure to be a hit.
