This whole grain maple pecan bread is delicious fresh out of the oven. Great for breakfasts, snacks, and maybe even dessert, this sweet treat is a delight!
The recipe works great for muffins, too. Just remember to reduce your baking time to about 20 minutes (depending on your oven). Keep a close eye, and remove from oven when tops are nice and golden.
