Sheri - I, too, was making these delicious but adding too many calories to my intake breads every 10 days. I got tired of the starter hanging around, so I experimented with ingredients one day, and came up with this recipe, and it tastes just like my starter-ed breads. It also only makes one loaf, so my husband's co-workers are not inundated with breads either! Janet

2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
1-1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 cup buttermilk (or 4 tblsp. powdered buttermilk and 1 cup water)
2 eggs
1/3 cup canola oil (or melted butter)
2 tsp. vanilla
1 pkg. vanilla instant pudding ( or flavor of your choice)
1/2 cup chocolate chips, raisins, etc. (optional)

Preheat oven to 350¡. Grease bottom only of a loaf pan.

In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients. Combine all wet ingredients and blend into dry. Beat 3 minutes on medium speed of electric mixer. Pour batter into prepared pan.

Bake at 350¡ for 45-55 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan 15 minutes, then remove to wire rack and cool completely.
