Prep time: 15 min  *  Total time: 70 min  * 18 servings

Ingredients

1 ½ cups flour

1 T baking powder

1 ½ t ground cinnamon

¼ t salt

1 egg

1 cup chunky applesause

¾ firmly packed brown sugar

2/3 cup milk

2 T oil

1 ½ cups bran flakes

¼ cup chopped nuts if desired (I used walnuts)

Mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in large bowl. Beat egg in small bowl; stir in applesause, sugar, milk and oil. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened (batter will be lumpy). Stir in bran flakes and nuts. Pour into 9x6-inch loaf pan sprayed with cooking spray. 

Bake at 350 F for 35 - 55 minutes depending on your oven, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. I suggest checking it after 30 minutes. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan. Cool on wire rack.

Note for easier slicing, wrap bread and store overnight.

Top with lowfat vanilla or pina colada yogurt for a real treat.
