Friendship is still in the bread

3 cups buttermilk
2 cups oil
6 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/4 cups Stevia In The Raw®

1 tbsp cinnamon
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 (3.4 oz) small boxes instant vanilla pudding
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325f degrees. Spray two bread loaf pans (or 8 mini loaf pans) with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle half of the Sugar In The Raw®/cinnamon mixture on the sides and bottom of loaf pans.
In a large bowl, stir together buttermilk, oil, eggs and vanilla. Stir in Stevia In The Raw®, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Then, slowly stir in flour and instant vanilla pudding. Finally, gently stir in chopped walnuts.
Pour batter evenly into prepared pans. Sprinkle the tops with rest of the Sugar In The Raw®/cinnamon mixture.

It smells heavenly!
Allow to cool completely. Then gently remove the loaves and pack them into cellophane bags.
Enjoy!

Looks beautiful!
Thanks so much Gloria! Hope you love it!
I do not use stevia what and how much can I supstitute that with?
It substitutes just like sugar – same measurements, same amount! 🙂
So if I don’t use the raw sugar, I will use 2 1/2 cups of regular sugar, correct?
Correct. If you want two loaves.
You stated you used regular sugar for the topping, but the recipe calls for Steviia for that. Which did you use?
It’s Sugar in the raw which is just raw/regular sugar. It’s the brand name ????
Looks and sounds wonderful. Years ago I made “Friendship Bread”, used with a starter from a friend, but you added peaches, cherries and the nuts. Could this be added to yours or do you know of this recipe?
What are the actual measurements for the bread starter. I’d like to make that to pass out with this recipe.
Thank you!
I live in a small community in NL Canada…is this product sold in Canada?
My husband is diabetic. Can I use 2 1/2 cups of Stevia in The Raw?
May be a silly question, but when the recipe calls for the pudding – are you adding prepared pudding, or simply the powder from the box?
Powder from the box!
Can I use low fat butter milk?
Can you freeze the bread then thaw it when you want to use it? Will it taste okay after it thaws?
Do you have to use buttermilk? Can almond milk be used instead? I’ve read other recipes that use regular or nonfat milk.
That seems like a huge amount of baking powder – 1 Tablespoon? Is this correct?
Can wheat flour be used in place of the All Purpose flour? Or maybe whole wheat white flour? My daughter says they eat wheat bread so I thought if the wheat flour could substitute for the All Purpose White Flour, it might be more appealing to her?
