Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Bran cereal (crushed)
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons Flaxseeds (ground)
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Molasses
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or almonds)
- 0.5 cup Dried fruit (optional, e.g., raisins or cranberries)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, bran cereal, rolled oats, ground flaxseeds, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, molasses, eggs, and almond milk until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
If using, fold in the chopped nuts and/or dried fruit to add texture and flavor to your bread.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and serve your high fiber bran bread with a spread of nut butter, jam, or simply enjoy it as is!
