While sitting in the airport for 3 hours the other night waiting for my plane to arrive from Dallas. Can I have one tangent here. If I'm in Chicago and I'm flying to Boston, but the plane I'm flying on is stuck in Dallas due to bad weather, why in God's name do I have to wait for that freaking plane. Doesn't the airline have any other planes that they could put us on. Why make a plane full off people, who's flight was supposed to be at 6:00, wait until 9:30 to board a plane. Why, you'd think that they could get us another plane. That's all I'm saying.While I was waiting for my plane to arrive from the longhorn state, you could say I had more than enough time to browse the local book and magazine store. I came across a magazine called Healthy Living, it was really great and loaded with fall inspired baking recipes. This recipe is from that magazine. My hope is to make a lot of the recipes highlighted in the magazine because they all seemed so healthy and tasty.
I don't think that I let this bake enough, I really think it needed 5 more minutes, but it was still delicious, and without butter, oil or eggs in the bread it really is super healthy and easy to make. Do yourself a favor, make this bread, it is really wonderful in the morning all toasty and warm.

United is totally the way to fly to Chicago to/from Boston...so many flights :)
I love this bread and it is super healthy I used whole wheat flour and added a teaspoon of nutmeg. It turned out wonderful. I finally have a good recipe for apple bread. Thank you so much for posting this.
You are welcome. This reminds me, I need to start thinking of variations for this recipe come fall.
I made it into 19 "muffins" by baking at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. They didn't rise at all, but they were very enjoyable. I used white whole wheat flour and added 3/4 tsp nutmeg. Used liners for the muffin tins.
i ripped this recipe out of a magazine over a year ago and i use it all the time! last time i made it, i used half whole wheat and half buckwheat flour- and also added fresh cranberries- SO yummy. i think it might've been a LITTLE too healthy for my boyfriend so he put a little butter on each slice, can't go wrong with that.
i don't think that magazine is in publication anymore, is it? i can't find a website or anything.
Hey Stephanie - It looks like the Healthy Living Magazine is now coupled with a magazine called Taste of Home. Here is a link.
