Cape Cod Bay Brown Bread image

This reminds me of the brown bread my grandmother made whenever we went out east to visit. The aroma evokes fond memories of her New England home during the peak of fall. I use blackstrap molasses and agave nectar to make mine a little different without sacrificing any of the flavor. Cranberries are another special touch, but this would also taste delicious with raisins. -Kellie Foglio, Salem, Wisconsin

I was a little skeptical about making this bread because I'm not a big fan of molasses, but I'm so glad I tried it! The molasses flavor is subtle and not overpowering at all. The bread is moist and delicious, and it's perfect for breakfast or a snack
