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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Add the raisins to the dry ingredients and toss them lightly to coat, ensuring even distribution.

Step 4

In a separate smaller mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and melted butter until combined.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly and smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy on its own or topped with butter or jam!
