MOLASSES OAT BRAN COOKIES



Molasses Oat Bran Cookies image

This healthy (well, healthier) cookie recipe won a prize in the 1990 Pillsbury Bake-Off. It was created by by Constance Dudley of Stanardsville, Virginia. I got the recipe from the 50th Anniversary Best of the Bake-Off Cookbook. Cook time includes refrigeration time and cook time for 2 batches of cookies. These can easily be made vegan by using a vegan egg-replacer like Ener-G. Sometimes sugar is not vegan so you could substitute raw sugar, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of oats. This will give your bread a more complex flavor and texture. You can use old-fashioned oats, quick-cooking oats, or even steel-cut oats.
  • Add some sweetness. Molasses is a natural sweetener that adds a rich, deep flavor to bread. You can also use honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar.
  • Add some spices. Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger can add a warm, inviting flavor to your bread. You can also add some dried fruit or nuts for extra flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the bread tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the bread rise in a warm place. This will help it to rise properly and develop a light, fluffy texture.
  • Bake the bread until it is golden brown. This will ensure that it is cooked through.

Conclusion:

Molasses oat bran bread is a delicious and healthy bread that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its hearty flavor and texture, molasses oat bran bread is sure to become a favorite in your home.
