Kitchen Notes
This recipe is very versatile! Use 1 or 2 boxes of pudding (pudding boosts flavor and moisture) and add up to 2 cups of dried fruit, nuts or baking chips of your choice (note: heavier add-ins may sink to the bottom).
Looking to make it healthier? Swap out ½ cup of oil with ½ cup of applesauce or 1 egg with ¼ cup mashed banana.

If you like raisins, combine different variations (golden, Thompson, and red flame) to keep it flavorful and interesting. A few years ago, our neighbor began to give us a bag of homemade sugared pecans every Christmas. I never knew what to do with it, it was so crazy sweet and there was always so much of it. I found its true calling one day when I chopped some up and tossed it into my Amish Friendship Bread batter when I couldn’t find any plan nuts to add. It gave the bread an extra sweet crunch so now I keep a bag of candied pecans or walnuts frozen in our freezer for just this purpose.
