• Use a mixer on medium speed or a food processor (my choice) to combine ingredients for the next steps:

• Pour wet mixture over flour mixture; beat at low speed or by hand just until moist.
• Spoon batter into a loaf pan coated with cooking spray or oil. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely, about 10 minutes or more before serving.
