Pam's Rhubarb Nut Bread

I an a note from my dear friend Pam about a week ago and she shared a quick bread recipe with with me and I thought that Rhubarb lovers out there might like to try it.

Pam's Rhubarb Bread

3/4 C. brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1/2 C. buttermilk
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. vanilla (remember, use the real thing, tastes better that way)
1 1/4 C. bread flour (Robin Hood will work here as well)
1 1/2 C. fresh rhubarb, diced
1/2 C. chopped nuts
1 1/2 tsp. butter, softened
2 Tbsp. granulated sugar

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F.
Combine the brown sugar and buttermilk in a bowl. Stir until smooth
Add the salt, soda, vanilla, and flour. Blend well until moist.
Fold in the rhubarb and nuts.
Pour batter into greased 8x4" loaf pan.

In a separate bowl, combine the butter and the granulated sugar. Mix until crumbly. Sprinkle over the batter in the loaf pan.

Bake @ 350F for 50-55 minutes, or until a tooth pick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Place on a wire rack to cool before slicing.

I haven't tried it yet,but it sounds good. My rhubarb plants are just new this year so I will have to wait until Betty brings some in from the farm to try it.
Makes 12 servings, if Den isn't slicing the loaf. Each serving is 153 calories and only 4 grams of fat. Not bad.

Enjoy!!!
