Raisin Bran Breakfast Bread

One of my all-time favorite things in life is a BRAN muffin.

Yes, I know that sounds strange, but I am constantly CRAVING4MORE when it comes to bran muffins.

They are sweet, they are dense, they are hearty, and they are surprisingly sweet. 
JUST LIKE ME!!! 😉

 

In any case, to satisfy my craving this time, I chose to be utilitarian. 

I used some on-hand Raisin Bran cereal – processed into a powder – added a few eggs, a touch of sugar and salt, baking powder and flour – and a hint of Kerrygold butter – and SHAZAM!!!! Amazing …

 

Raisin Bran Breakfast Bread

 

Do your best not to eat the entire loaf in one sitting! 😋

Raisin Bran Breakfast Bread 

5 cups Raisin Bran cereal, processed into a fine crumb
8 Tbs. butter, room temperature (or even melted)
3/4 cup brown sugar, loosely packed
3 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. sea salt
2 cups all-purpose flour

 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

 

Using a hand or stand mixer, mix together the raisin bran cereal crumbs, softened butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, baking powder, and sea salt until smooth.

 

Fold in the flour, 1/2 cup at a time.

 

Line a small bread pan with parchment paper.

 

Transfer the sticky dough to the prepared bread pan.

 

Bake for 45-50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

 

Cool before slicing and serving! 😋
