Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1/3 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Raisins
- 1 3/4 cups Buttermilk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the raisins to the dry ingredients and toss them lightly to coat, ensuring even distribution.
In a separate smaller mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and melted butter until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be thick and slightly sticky.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly and smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy on its own or topped with butter or jam!
