RAISIN BRAN BREAD

Easy & delicious idea for a last minute breakfast potluck or holiday gift. It looks beautiful, too. I'm not sure where this recipe came from, but it could have originally been from a cereal box. Post Raisin Bran has the biggest flakes, which makes it look especially pretty for presentation, but any raisin bran cereal will do....

RAISIN BRAN BREAD



RAISIN BRAN BREAD image

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups Raisin Bran Cereal, divided
1-1/4 cups fat-free milk
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) margarine, melted, divided (you could use oil)
1 egg
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups flour
1 Tbsp. CALUMET Baking Powder
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 Tbsp. sugar

Steps:

  • PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Mix 1-1/2 cups of the cereal, the milk and 2 Tbsp. of the margarine in medium bowl. Let stand 1 minute. Add egg and 3/4 cup sugar; mix well. Stir in flour, baking powder and cinnamon until well blended. Spread into 9x5-inch loaf pan sprayed with cooking spray. MIX remaining 1/2 cup cereal, remaining 2 Tbsp. margarine and 1 Tbsp. sugar until well blended; sprinkle over batter. Gently press cereal mixture into batter. BAKE 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan on wire rack; remove bread from pan. Cool completely. Cut into 16 slices to serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or plumped raisins. Stale or dry raisins can make your bread dry and less flavorful. To plump raisins, soak them in hot water for 15 minutes before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the bread.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing. This will help prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Raisin bran bread is a delicious and nutritious snack or breakfast food. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With just a few simple ingredients, you can enjoy a warm, homemade loaf of raisin bran bread in no time.
