fruit + nut quick bread master recipe

As fruity and nutty as your taste buds desire. And it's truly quick - on a good day, under an hour from urge to plate. And so many variations! Chocolate + cherry + walnut! Apple + peanut butter + maple! Cranberry + pecan + orange zest!

Here's what you need to make it:

- flour (grain, nut, or other)

- sweetener (dry or syrup)

- baking powder

- something milky

- oil or butter

- fruit

- nuts or seeds

- two mixing bowls, a spoon or spatula, a baking pan, an oven

A tip of the hat to Maria Oakley, whose chocolate cherry quick bread graces this blog post—it was as delicious as it looks!
