Caramel Cream Cheese Bread Directions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
-
Prepare Batter:
- In a large bowl, cream together the fat-free cream cheese, unsweetened applesauce, and zero-calorie sweetener until smooth.
- Beat in the egg whites (or whole eggs) one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; gradually stir into the creamed mixture until well combined. Stir in nuts, if using.
-
Assemble:
- Spread 1/4 of the batter into prepared loaf pans. Drizzle 1/4 of the sugar-free caramel topping over the batter. Cover with the remaining batter, then drizzle with the remaining caramel topping.
-
Bake:
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
