if you are a fan of the canned version you will love this! - not only is this low fat, egg-free and very low in cholesterol it takes only 5 minutes to mix although there is another 5 minutes sitting time, you may use 2 cups whole wheat flour and 1 cup all-purpose flour either way works well- for greasing the pan see my Pan Release, Professional Pan Coating (Better Than Pam Spray!) Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat flour |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
2/3 cup brown sugar, packed |
1/4 cup molasses |
2 cups low-fat buttermilk (for best results do not substitute milk) |
1/2-3/4 cup raisins (or chopped dates, can use more) |
Directions:
1. Set oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Grease and flour a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan (can use two smaller loaf pans).
3. In a large bowl whisk the whole wheat flour with white flour, baking soda and brown sugar.
4. Using a wooden spoon or spatula mix in molasses and buttermilk until JUST combined (do not over mix).
5. Gently mix in raisins or chopped dates.
6. Spread in prepared loaf pan then allow the pan to sit on the counter for 5 minutes.
7. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the loaf tests done (reduce cooking time if using smaller loaf pans).
8. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
