Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the raisin bran cereal, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir thoroughly to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, and gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Once baked, 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.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
