baking soda. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, yogurt, orange juice,
applesauce, oil and extract. Stir into dry ingredients just until

near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.

•For glaze, combine confectioners' sugar and enough orange juice to
achieve desired consistency. Drizzle over warm loaves. Yield: 6 mini
loaves (6 slices each).
