I didn't find this a bit oily. Since I didn't have any small pans, I made this as a large bread. I will keep this in mind for holiday gifts next year. It was moist, tasty and easy to make.
Mini Fruit and Sunflower Loaves
This not-too-sweet bread is good for breakfast or with coffee or tea in the afternoon. Mini loaves are nice for gifts, but you can also bake the batter in a full-sized loaf pan. Just increase the cooking time.
Yield: 4 loaves, 8 servings per loaf (serving size: 1 slice)
