Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Grape Nuts cereal
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the Grape Nuts cereal and milk. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the cereal to soften.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly. Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract, then stir to combine.
Add the softened Grape Nuts mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix. If using chopped nuts, fold them in at this stage.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
