Ingredient mistake in James Beard quick bread recipe?

I haven't made James Beard's Apricot Bread for years but used to absolutely love it. I have the book. No butter. No oil. It's perfect!

Dear EastOver90 and Smaug, My curiosity is piqued and I found the original Beard recipe (not the James Paterson one) at a baker's website.
BTW, the blogger's version also has no fat, so that wasn't a typo.
And his didn't rise much, either.

For if & when you next want to try this apricot bread.

Thanks for the replies. Yes, I’ve used this book since published in the 1970’s with great success but never the recipe for apricot bread. That’s why I’m questioning the ingredients. The Patterson recipe on the JBF site is very different-I switched to that one and have just pulled it out of the oven. It hardly rose at all...cooling now.

Ok Smaug. Yes, by Paterson but endorsed by JBF. Maybe look it up in the book (my copy long gone).
EastOver90...your choice.

I don't think it's a mistake- a lot of people have baked Beard's recipe for years; the recipe with butter is attributed to James Patterson.

The Beard Foundation has a recipe yes, WITH butter.

By the way, I've baked most of that 1973 book and the recipes are reliable, tasty, interesting.
