Great-Grandmas Health Bread

This is a recipe from my great-grandma with simple ingredients. This bread is moist, healthy, and delicious. You can easily cut back on the sugar and switch out ingredients depending on taste or dietary restrictions. I love to use dried cranberries instead of raisins, reducing the sugar by several tablespoons when I do.

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch loaf pan.

Step: 2

Bring raisins and water to a boil in a small saucepan, reduce heat to medium, and boil 5 minutes; set aside to cool.

Step: 3

Mix rolled oats, bran cereal, whole wheat flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Mix milk with lemon juice in a small bowl and let stand 1 or 2 minutes to sour. Stir baking soda into sour milk until dissolved. Pour milk mixture into dry ingredients; beat egg into the mixture. Stir raisins and their liquid into the batter. Pour batter into prepared pan.

Step: 4

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool in pan for 15 minutes before removing to finish cooling on a wire rack.

Eat healthy breakfast to continue the day had become a good habit. It’s a best way to start my 24 hours off healthfully. The sugar hit from the fruit wakes me up and gives me power to take on the morning. The sweetness is often vilified as the evil of all disease, but sweetness is also loaded with fibre, which is best for your digestive system and helps keep you feeling full all day , and not want likely grab a side food out of the vending machine before break .

Make fruit a at 7.00 clock habit is easy . Simply put the fruit in your fridge next to the milk or on the bench next to your cereal bowl , or move your coffee maker or tea kettle — about anywhere where you’ll see it. Before you eat the rest of your breakfast , eat your fruit. If you’re not normally a breakfast person.

Giving your body a bit of sugar in the morning is important to kick-start your metabolism for the 24 hours and fuel to your brain, which, incidentally, requires a continuous supply of sweetness in the form of process glucose, amounting to around 120g daily. There is also substantial evidence to backup the idea that a diet high in fibre can reduce your risk of a number of cancers. And of course, you benefit from all the other vitamins and antioxidants in fruit, which keep you strong and healthy.
