How to Make Barbs Best Bran Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups oat bran, 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: ½ cup vegetable oil, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, and 2 large eggs. Beat until light and fluffy.
- Add 1 cup mashed ripe bananas and ½ cup prune puree (or applesauce) to the wet ingredients. Mix well.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in ½ cup chopped dates (or nuts) if desired.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to enhance flavor and moisture.
- Enjoy your delicious and healthy Barb's Best Bran Bread the next morning!
