Healthy Fruit Bread
Lots of Fruit
Breakfast Recipe: Apple Bread
My mother used to make cake for breakfast almost every day. She was not one to get up early in the morning to fix breakfast. so my sister and I just grabbed a chunk of this cake with either juice or milk. We certainly got all the nutrition we needed for the day. This breakfast bread has a load of healthy ingredients to include whole grains, fruit, cinnamon and honey.
I didn't have the recipe for this cake, so most of what I used was from memory. I had to do a lot of experimentation until I got the correct measurements for it to bake properly. I usually vary the fruits I use depending what I have on hand. You can use different breads or even mix and match what you have around the house. I used non fat milk and sometimes just egg whites instead of whole eggs. and it works fine. Stale bread works well with this recipe. Actually this is a good solution for using stale bread instead of throwing it out. You can also leave the crust on the bread or cut it off.
You can serve this breakfast cake warm or at room temperature.

I like simple recipes, Carol, so this one for apple bread cake is going to the top of my list. Thank you, m'dear.
What a clever idea for a quick, nutritious breakfast! In Peru, they make a cake from stale bread called "budin". It's not healthy, though, because it's made with white bread and lots of butter. I like your healthy version better!

Thank you for stopping and lovely comments. I like it as it is easy and I can use stuff I have around the house.
Carol, this looks delicious and I can't wait to try it. I love that you use a loaf of whole wheat bread insted of having to make the dough from scratch. It's a perfect breakfast for diabetics too. Thank you for sharing this.

LaThing; Thanks for stopping in and lovely comments..I am so appreciative.
yummy...gave this one 5 stars.
This doesn't seem too hard! I always look for easy recipes for yummy dishes - thank you!
I wonder if there is a way to substitute oats or oat bran for the bread. It might be healthier still.
But it does look like a great breakfast meal just the way it is.
This is an interesting recipe! I can just see it being delicious and very healthy. Have to try it soon. Thanks for sharing this with us, Carol. Voting up and everything :)
