loaf pans ( or four small loaf pans or one large bundt pan). Bake at 325
degrees for 1 hour.

NOTES : DO NOT USE A METAL SPOON. DO NOT REFRIGERATE. Alternative recipe
ideas. Substitute one cup whole wheat flour for one of last 2 cups of
flour, use all apllesauce ( 1 cup) instead of oil and applesauce, use all
oil (1 cup) instead of oil and applesauce. Substitute raisins, chopped
dried apricots, fresh berries, chocolate chips for nuts. Pudding combos:
Chocolate pudding with:nuts, chocolate chips, or peanut butter chips.
Pistachio pudding with nuts or chocolate chips. Butterscotch pudding with
nuts or butterscotch chips. My Favorite: Vanilla pudding with 1/3 cup
raspberries, 1/3 cup blueberries, 1/3 cup blackberries. You can also vary
the spices (i.e. nutmeg, grated citrus peel, etc.) The starters also feeze
for up to six months. Use Day 1 as defrost day. You cannot hurt this
stuff!!
