Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 oat bran flakes
- 240 ml buttermilk
- 120 ml molasses
- 170 gr wheat flour (whole)
- 150 gr dates (chopped)
- 130 gr flour
- 120 gr walnuts (chopped)
- 110 gr brown sugar
- 120 ml oil
- 9 gr baking powder
- 5 gr baking soda
- 5 gr 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.
