Jalapeno Cheese Quick Bread

Ingredients

3/4 cup unbleached all purpose flour
3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp light olive oil
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup non-fat milk
1 cup light cheddar cheese (I used a light Mexican blend)
1/4 cups pickled jalapenos, drained, diced

Preparation

1
Heat oven to 350°
2
Lightly grease loaf pan, 9x5x3 or two mini muffin pans with cooking spray.
3
Stir together flour, cheese, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl. Add olive oil, egg and milk, stir till combined. Fold in jalapenos.
4
Pour into pan
5
Bake 30 to 45 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes; run knife around edges of pan to loosen. Remove from pan to wire rack. Cool 30 minutes before slicing, if you can wait that long, I didn’t.

Great recipe, and I'll be making it soon. A good thing to do if serving to people like my Mom, is to saute the jalapenos for a bit, which will dampen the hot some.

I think that should be 1/4 cup of jalapenos?
