-JUDI M. PHELPS (BNVX05A) 2 Eggs
1/2 c Oil
1 c Buttermilk
1/2 c Brown sugar
1/2 c Molasses
1 1/3 c Whole wheat flour
1 c Flour
3/4 c Oat bran flakes
2 ts Baking powder
1 t Baking soda
2 ts Cinnamon
1 c Dates — chopped
1 c Walnuts — chopped
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.
