Breakfast and Lunch

Servings per recipe: 6

INGREDIENTS
Canola oil for greasing
12 slices bread, crusts removed
1 (4-ounce) stick canola margarine, melted, plus additional as
needed
12 small eggs

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin and gently press
the bread into the prepared muffin cups. Brush inside of each slice of
bread with melted margarine and cook in the oven until slighty browned.
Break a small egg into each bread cup and bake for 10 minutes or
until the egg is set.

These bread cups are large croustades. This easy recipe is a great way to serve eggs to company. The Coleman family loves these on a Saturday morning with fresh squeezed orange juice and fresh sliced bananas.

INGREDIENTS
The Cake:
Canola oil spray for greasing
1/2 cup canola margarine
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 (15-ounce) can cherry pie filling

The Glaze:
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
2 tablespoons canola margarine, melted
2 tablespoons milk

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 13×9-inch baking dish with the
spray.

Mix the margarine, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together
until crumbly. Remove half of the mixture to another bowl and set
aside for the topping.

To the original bowl add the eggs and milk until incorporated. Pour
the batter into the prepared baking dish. Dollop spoonfuls of cherry
pie filling on top of the batter. Don’t worry if the dollops are not
evenly distributed. Sprinkle with the reserved topping. Bake for 45
minutes.

While the cake is baking, combine the glaze ingredients in a small
bowl. Whisk until the sugar has dissolved.
Remove the cake from the oven and drizzle with the glaze

In a large bowl, combine the oil, sugar, eggs, flour, bananas, chocolate

the top is lightly golden brown and the sides pull away from edges of
pan. Remove the pan from oven and cool. Slice the bread and serve
with canola margarine.

It always seems like we have ripe bananas sitting on the counter: Does this sound familiar? This recipe was quickly created when the Coleman family discovered how the flavors of bananas and chocolate go together like a hand in a glove. Enjoy!

Sheri came up with this recipe after sampling soft granola in Big Sky, Montana, her family’s home away from home. This recipe can be served either warm or cold as a breakfast cereal. And if you don’t mind sticky fingers, it’s also a great snack to take along on a hike. Use your imagination when considering dried fruit and nut combinations—they will all turn out delicious!
