Whole Wheat Quick Bread

Quick breads come by their name honestly. In fact, this one takes just 5 minutes to mix together -- then you can sit back and relax as the fragrance of freshly baked goodness permeates your home. Wonderful for breakfast, toasted and served with a bit of cream cheese and apple or pumpkin butter, this sweet and hearty loaf also makes a fine accompaniment to a bowl of hot soup.
