Categories     Bread

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups raisin bran cereal
1 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups finely chopped peeled apples (about 2 small)
1/2 cup walnuts, optional
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Grease 9x5x3 in loaf pan. Combine cereal, milk, oil, eggs and vanilla. Let stand 10 minutes. Stir to break up cereal; stir in apples and walnuts. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Add cereal mixture all at once to flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Spread evenly in prepared pan. Bake 60 to 65 minutes or until tester inserted in center comes out clean.

Tips:

  • To ensure a moist and flavorful bread, use ripe apples. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples are all good choices.
  • Soak the raisins in hot water for 15 minutes before adding them to the batter. This will help them plump up and add a chewy texture to the bread.
  • Use a combination of white and brown sugar for a more complex flavor. Brown sugar adds a slight molasses flavor that complements the apples and raisins.
  • Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a warm, autumnal flavor.
  • Bake the bread in a loaf pan until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 50-60 minutes.

Conclusion:

Apple raisin bran bread is a delicious and wholesome quick bread that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It is also a great way to use up leftover apples and raisins. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and chewy raisins, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
