Whether you're looking for a breakfast treat, a midafternoon snack, or a savory accompaniment to a meal, quick breads fit the bill. They require no kneading, no rising time, very little effort, and now they're even low in fat! Often a hidden source of unwanted calories and fat grams, this popular treat has been lightened up by Sigal Seeber in Light Quick Breads, which offers healthful twists on both old favorites and contemporary treats. High-fat shortenings and oils are replaced with natural substitutes, such as fruit purees, to provide wonderful flavor and moist texture. And now that the dairy case in the supermarket is bursting with reduced-fat products, low-fat baking is simple and painless. Sigal Seeber presents a wide assortment of fast and easy breads, including Five-Grain Bread, Indian Pumpkin Bread, and Granola-Banana Bread, all with nutritional breakdowns to show they derive less than 30 percent of their calories from fat. And a chapter on spreads offers such wonderful options as Apricot-Lemon Spread for slathering your own homemade baked goods. So whether you crave a crunchy slice of Maple-Cranberry Corn Bread or a sweetly satisfying piece of Fresh Peach Bread, you'll find exactly what you're looking for in the pages of Light Quick Breads.
