Today has been busy and seemed to go by in a flash! After work, I did a quick Body Attack practice and then Josh and I had to run some errands. I also found time to make some cinnamon sweet bread!
You may remember a while back I won some amazing looking cinnamon chips from the awesome blog Tri to Cook. I saved the chips, knowing I wanted to use them to make a special treat for a real cinnamon lover, Josh's dad. Since Josh's parents are being absolutely incredible and driving in from Nashville to help us move, I knew this was the perfect time to give the chips a go. I used a recipe from Hershey's with a few mods. Its a little on the naughty side, so I may try to make it again with additional subs....regardless its delicious.
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour (next time I plan to use half whole wheat half all purpose)
1 cup sugar (I used a little less...maybe 3/4)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup applesauce
1/2 cup smart balance
1/3 cup egg whites (or two eggs)
1 cup HERSHEY'S Cinnamon Chips, HERSHEY'S SPECIAL DARK Chocolate Chips or HERSHEY'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Spray a loaf pan with Pam.
2. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, applesauce, smart balance and egg whites in large bowl. Beat on medium speed of mixer until well blended(I used a whisk). Stir in cinnamon chips.
3. Pour into loaf pan and bake for approximately 1 hour (check it as cooking time varies by oven) or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
4. Let loaf cool completely before cutting (no matter how good it smells ;)).
YUM!
Well, I will miss you all terribly this weekend! I know I'm going to go through major blog withdrawal!

Your bread looks amazing - and the ingredients aren't too bad. I made bread with cinnamon chips from Tri2Cook as well, but made up the recipe. I ended up dumping the whole bag of chips in the mix, and so it was basically one big cinnamon chip. Good but VERY sweet!
love it! hope dad enjoys :)

I've been eating extra healthy lately, but obviously I'm not getting enough carbs because i could eat a whole loaf of that bread right now =)
I hope the move went well!
Wow, delicious bread, Erica!! I just got caught up on the fact that you are officially moving. YAY! I bet you're just getting settled in - I hope it's going well and I can't wait to hear more about it!
the bread looks glorious!
best of luck with the move- that is so exciting!!!
ahhh you're back!! And then you're gone. BOOO. I understand though and BEST wishes with the moving because it's going to be SOOO fun (but tiring) decorating a new home. Awwww....Pictures to come??
And that sweet bread has the EXACT type of crust I lovvvvee!!! I always eat the sides of breads and that looks like a darn yummy one!
I love this bread it looks so tasty! It is great using the apple sauce in this recipe I bet it was so more-ish! Fruit is great used in baking for moisture and the combo of apple and cinnamon is sooooo good. :-)
YUM! I am so making this!
I am so tired of moving, so good luck with that.
