Spiced Rhubarb Bread Recipe

We have so much rhubarb in the Northwest, I was happy to get another idea for its uses. I especially like this recipe because it freezes well.

I inadvertently left the topping off which I discovered as I went to write a review and realized I had left the melted butter combined with the sugar and cinnamon in the microwave. Oops! The bread was delicious without the topping and my husband said he didn't even miss it but since I did leave it off, I am giving this only four stars and will make another batch with the topping. I travel full-time in an RV so one never knows how things will come out or what ingredient I may forget!

Yummy! Note: This is the exact same recipe as Streusel Rhubarb Bread, also in the recipe finder, except that one calls for 1/2 cup oil.

I made this bread for the first time to bring to a pot luck at work. Several people asked for the recipe. It's tasty, stays moist and is easy to make.

Delicious and different from the usual rhubarb pie. The only slight drawback is that they don't look that impressive because of the melted butter and brown sugar topping- fine for family, but not giving as gifts. I may try a traditional crumble topping next time.
