Description

Hey, who doesn't need a little more fiber??? This is an excellent, tasty, and most importantly EASY bread which will definitely help you increase your fiber intake.

Ingredients

  • 2 c all bran cereal- not the flakes, the little pellets
  • 1 c brown sugar
  • 2 c Milk
  • 1 c raisins or craisins
  • 2 c All purpose flour
  • 2 t baking powder
  • 1 t baking soda
  • 1 T cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350

Grease and flour 9X5 loaf pan

Mix cereal, brown sugar, milk, and fruit in large bowl and set aside for 10 - 15 minutes (until cereal becomes mushy)

Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon and stir completely.

Spoon into the loaf pan and bake for one hour. Cool on rack.

Notes

I believe this originally came from a WWI or WWII recipe that floated around for a while, hence partially the reason we've dubbed this "Warloaf". The name also comes from the fact that if you are not used to having a nice fiber source in your diet you might notice a little gastrointestinal discomfort the first day or two you eat this (good thing you're an AHD- there is a social stigma attached to flatulence in the workplace, as I recall).

I recommend warming a slice in the toaster oven and then topping with either peanut butter or something like apple butter. I tell you, I am completely hooked on this recipe and would eat it three times a day.
