Oatmeal Raisin Bread

Pin It
I'm working on a little cookbook for my cousin as a wedding gift.  In doing so, I've ask our aunts and grandma to send me any recipes they would like to include in the book for her.  I'm using Blurb, and so far, everything is easy-peasy.  I'm a digital scrapbooker though, so that might help, but still.  How cool is it to make your own book!?  I'm contemplating doing my own little Brandy's Baking cookbook and maybe even a book to save my kids' bajillion pages of priceless artwork.

Anyway!  As I was opening my mail one afternoon last week, I found that one of my aunts had sent me some recipes for the book!  She was even kind enough to copy and send some recipes for my sweet grandma.  (Thank you Auntie Jackie!)  A recipe for Oatmeal Raisin Bread caught my eye.  Yum!  A quick scan of the ingredients told me that I had everything to make the bread and a short 15 minutes later, I had three mini-loaves ready to pop in the oven.


There is really only one way to describe this bread.  It's just like eating a soft, cakey oatmeal raisin cookie!  A cookie disguised as bread = brilliant!  I was planning to freeze two of the three loaves, but we ended up eating all three of them before I knew it.  My kids and I ate the bread with breakfast, as an afternoon snack, and I even put some slices in their lunchbox the next day.  Poof...gone!


Oatmeal Raisin Bread
by Brandy's Baking
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 35-50 minutes
Ingredients (1 9x5 loaf or 3 mini-loaves)
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp allspice
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 cup quick oatmeal (not instant)
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 3/4 unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 3/4 cup raisins
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease one 9x5 bread pan or three mini-loaf pans. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and oatmeal.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredient mixture and add the rest of the ingredients. Stir gently and just until evenly moistened. Bake large loaf for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (The mini-loaves only take about 30-34 minutes to bake.)

Looks like a wonderful recipe. I love oatmeal cookies, I love quick breads--what's not to love?? It's very sweet that you're making a cookbook for a wedding gift. I can hardly think of a nicer or more meaningful gift.
