  • Author: Kelly Cahoon

Description

All things Christmas in one perfect mini loaf! I made mini loaves as neighbor gifts this year and they worked great! You could easily make this in a loaf pan or even a bundt pan as a dessert or Christmas morning breakfast. I know I always say these recipes are easy, but seriously… this one is EASY.
