Cherry Bread Mini Loaves was yet another baking adventure with Caleb, 4. He loves to "make" in the kitchen with me and is always wanting something to help put together. Caleb, of course, wants to make everything with chocolate chips and marshmallows.

I don't mind, but let's be real here. A dessert every day isn't the best thing to have in the house when vacation (aka the beach) is in the future for our 20th anniversary. I could let the children eat all the desserts. I could. I should. I will. ;-)

The children enjoy taking mini loaves in their lunches. I like it because it is a good substitute for a sandwich or it is a great snack. The mini loaves also make a great breakfast. Pair it with a banana or orange and you have breakfast to go.

Cherry Bread Mini Loaves

I have mentioned this before, but one of my favorite kitchen items is this mini loaf pan. You can simply use a regular loaf pan for breads, I certainly do. However, this loaf pan works so well for school lunches, for my husband's lunch and for grab and go. It's the perfect size. (And for $10, the investment is worth it!)

The bread recipe is simple, the idea delicious. I used canned cherries, like for a pie, and stirred it into the bread batter. (Or I should say, Caleb stirred!) We baked the cherry bread mini loaves at 350* for about 25 minutes. The result was a sweet, yummy baked bread.
