I’ve seen several recipes for granola bread recently, and it sounds pretty tasty. I’m on a Special K Red Berries kick, though, and decided that’d make a good bread addition. I wanted something that doesn’t take all day to make, for a change, so went the quick bread route.

For some reason store brand can do this right, but not Cheerios?

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup canola oil
• 1/2 cup honey
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
• 1 3/4  cups unbleached white flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups Special K Red Berries cereal

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9X5″ bread pan and set aside.

In a large bowl, stir together the oil and honey.

Add the eggs and yogurt.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl, then stir into the wet ingredients.

Fold in the cereal, and pour/spoon into the prepared bread pan.

Bake 25-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan.

I’d forgotten how easily quick breads come together, and that was a pleasant surprise!

I like it sliced thickly, toasted with butter, and maybe/ideally sprinkled with powdered sugar.
