Good morning friends! Hope y’all had a wonderful weekend! Mine was busy, busy, busy. Lots of recipe testing and football watching going on. My team, the Philadelphia Eagles won, AND the recipes I tested were a huge hit with friends! It was an overall WIN of a weekend!

Today, I’m so excited to share my new Loaded Muesli Quick Bread with you guys! Since the first of the year, I’ve been in the swing of a good workout routine thanks to my good friend Michele. We keep tabs on each other to make sure no one’s fallen off the exercise wagon. Being accountable to someone really helps me keep at it. I created this quick bread as a little treat for after my workouts, and surprisingly, I find myself powering through my routine knowing there’s a slice in my immediate future!

Muesli. Are you guys familiar? It’s similar to granola, but it’s uncooked. In today’s loaf, I’ve added my favorite, Fruit and Seed Muesli from Bob’s Red Mill. It’s got an abundance of fruits, seeds, and nuts incorporated in a foundation of seven wholesome grains: wheat, rye, barley, oats, triticale, sorghum, and kasha. It’s also got almonds, raisins, cranberries, cherries, coconut flakes, and blueberries among sunflower, pumpkin, flax, and hemp seed and it’s the perfect addition to this breakfast bread. It makes it a hearty and extremely satisfying post workout snack.

I’ll be working with Bob’s Red Mill in 2018 to bring you some awesome recipes using their top-notch products. They are simply the best of the best in whole grain foods, so I’m proud to be working with them to hopefully bring their products to your kitchen too!

There’s muesli in the loaf, as well as some sprinkled on top, applesauce to keep the bread nice and moist, the warm spices of cinnamon and cardamon, and some extra added dried blueberries and chopped apricots. When I say it’s loaded, I really mean it! Perfect plain or with a smear of cream cheese. You decide. One slice of this baby, and you’ll be satisfied for hours! Hope everyone has a fabulous week. Enjoy!
