This Spatula's Note:

This is a moist, sweet bread that is fantastic spread with apple or pumpkin butter. These directions are for a 1 lb. loaf in the bread machine. Be sure to find out if your machine require liquid or dry ingredients to go in first. Note: This recipe makes a lovely loaf when baked in the oven - in this case, use the "dough" cycle on the bread machine only.

Lovely, slightly sweet bread! Would be wonderful for French toast or bread pudding, or a plain old peanut butter sandwich. The bread maker crushes the granola such that it adds a little texture without being lumpy. Only change I made was to use powdered milk rather than dry powdered buttermilk. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for PAC fall 2007.
