Raisin, Nut and Spiced Quick Bread

Raisin, Nut and Spiced Quick Bread

Hello there again MFP friends! Kathy back from Penney Lane with another easy recipe for you.

Happy Fall! Hands down the most popular recipe on my blog is a Lemon Blueberry quick bread. It’s moist and delicious and perfect warm for breakfast or with an afternoon hot chocolate or tea. Those flavors are more summery so I decided to create another delicious quick bread but with Fall flavors.

What says fall better than spiced baking? The smell and flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, and pumpkin spice are beautifully Autumn. This week I made Raisin, Nut and Spice Quick Bread.

I adapted this recipe from a Crock Pot cookbook. While it’s cool to bake in a crock pot, you can’t beat 30-40 minutes in the oven. Your whole house smells like fall while this is cooking. The bread is to die for coming out of the oven and if you add just a bit of butter it sends it over the top. This bread is so easy and would be great to divide into small loaf pans for food gift giving season, or maybe for breakfast on Thanksgiving or Christmas morning.
