Healthy Apricot-Orange Bread Recipe
Ingredients:

1 package (6 oz) dried apricots, cut into small pieces
2 C water
2 Tbsp margarine
1 C sugar
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 Tbsp orange peel, freshly grated
3 1/2 C all-purpose flour, sifted
1/2 C fat free dry milk powder
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt

1/2 C pecans, chopped

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 °F. Lightly oil two 9- by 5-inch loaf pans.

2. Cook apricots in water in covered medium-size saucepan for 10–15 minutes or until tender but not mushy. Drain and reserve 3/4 cup liquid. Set apricots aside to cool.

3. Cream together margarine and sugar. By hand, beat in egg and orange peel.

4. Sift together flour, dry milk, baking powder, soda, and salt. Add to creamed mixture alternately with reserved apricot liquid and orange juice.

6. Turn batter into prepared pans.

Re: Healthy Apricot-Orange Bread Recipe

This sounds like something I would make. It doesn't have yeast (I don't like working with it) and I can substitute gluten-free flour for the regular flour. I'm making a copy of the recipe and will try it next week. Thanks!
