Recipe - Molasses Bran Bread And Variations

1 teaspoon Soda
One half cup Blackstrap molasses
1 One half cup Sour milk or buttermilk
(skim)
1 One half cup Bran
One half cup Raisins
1 One half cup Whole wheat flour

Dissolve soda in molasses, add sour milk and mix well. Mix in bran and
raisins. Gradually fold in flour; turn into an 8x4x2 inch loaf pan greased
or lined with wax paper, and spread evenly. Bake 45 minutes in a moderate
oven (350 deg. F)

My variations: I substitute Three fourths cup skim milk + Three fourths cup skim yogurt for the
buttermilk. I substitute 1 One half cups oatmeal for the bran. Last time I
made this, I also added 2 grated carrots, and had nice carrot cake. I also
plump the raisins in the microwave with some water.
