Ingredients

• 2 cups raisin bran cereal
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups brown sugar, packed
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 cups milk
• 0.25 cups vegetable oil
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups optional chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the raisin bran cereal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute all the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter can be lumpy.

Step 5

If you are adding optional chopped nuts, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 6

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula if needed.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve slices warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
