Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 oat bran flakes
- 1 c buttermilk
- 1/2 c molasses
- 1 3/8 c wheat flour (whole)
- 1 c dates (chopped)
- 1 c flour
- 1 c walnuts (chopped)
- 1/2 c brown sugar
- 1/2 c oil
- 2 ts baking powder
- 1 t baking soda
- 2 ts cinnamon
Beat together first 5 ingredients until blended. Mix together the remaining ingredients and add all at once. Beat until blended. Do not overbeat. Divide batter between 5 greased mini-loaf pans (6x3x2-inches) and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes, or until a cake tester, inserted in center, comes out clean. Allow to cool in pan for 10 minutes, and then remove from pans and continue cooling on a rack. Yields: 5 mini-loaves. Note: Oat bran can be purchased in most supermarkets or health food stores. It comes as "milled" or "stone-ground". The milled is finer in texture and the stone-ground will produce a slightly coarser crumb, which adds a little character to this country-style loaf.
