Great-Grandmas Health Bread Recipe

  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup bran cereal (such as Kellogg's® All-Bran®)
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 egg
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch loaf pan.
  2. Bring raisins and water to a boil in a small saucepan, reduce heat to medium, and boil 5 minutes; set aside to cool.
  3. Mix rolled oats, bran cereal, whole wheat flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Mix milk with lemon juice in a small bowl and let stand 1 or 2 minutes to sour. Stir baking soda into sour milk until dissolved. Pour milk mixture into dry ingredients; beat egg into the mixture. Stir raisins and their liquid into the batter. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool in pan for 15 minutes before removing to finish cooling on a wire rack.
