Here's the tweeked recipe - it is lower in fat, sugar , and healthier by using whole wheat flour.

Cream together:
3/4 cup Splenda Brown Sugar Blend
1/3 cup canola oil
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce

add and mix well:
1 egg

add and mix well:
1 cup sour milk (1 cup skim milk + 1 tbsp. lemon juice- let stand for
a few minutes to curdle)
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix together and gradually add:
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2 1/2 cups flour (at least 1/2 to be whole wheat)

Using a spoon, stir in:
2 cups diced fresh rhubarb
2/3 cup finely chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Divide into two sprayed loaf pans (I used 4 1/2 X 9 glass pans)
Mix together 1/4 cup brown sugar blend and 1/4 cup quick oatmeal and
sprinkle over each pan. I then sprayed the topping with Can't Believe Butter spray.

Bake at 325 for 45-55 minutes - check with a toothpick in center for
doneness.....(mine took the whole 55 min.).Don't overbake. Freezes well.

Thanks for posting the recipe..my mouth has been watering since we talked on the phone about it. I am going to find the rhubarb and then make this. I bet Bill will like it too. If not...at least it freezes well you said. And others will get to try this too.

Hi Pat,
This sounds delicious but, I do not have rhubarb. I wonder if any other vegetable can be used in this recipe?
Thanks,
