This recipe for Molasses Brown Bread is an old one that I clipped from the London Free Press news paper in the 70s, when I was first married and living in Canada.

I discovered the clipping filed away in an old cook book, several weeks ago. I knew I wanted to post it on my blog sometime in the future, and when I got up this morning, I knew that today was the day.

It felt like fall. Baking and fall seem to go together. I know I may be rushing things, but the light coming through the windows was different. The angle and the intensity had changed. Yes, autumn was definitely on the way.

I love the word autumn, so just had to use it. While the bread baked, the entire house filled with the scent of cinnamon, and it was wonderful. The recipe says brown bread, but it really is more like a cake. Not as sweet, but perfect with a cup of tea or coffee.

1 cup Whole Wheat Flour       Mix these dry ingredients together in a bowl and set aside
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon

Beat one egg in a large mixing bowl until foamy. Mix in one cup of All Bran Cereal

Add 1/2 cup raisins, 2 Tbs. butter, and 1/3 cup molasses. Next add 3/4 cup hot water. Stir until butter is melted. Now add dry ingredients and mix only until combined. Do not over stir. Place batter in 9x5x3 well greased loaf pan. Bake at 350° F for 30-35 minutes, or until firm.

Serve warm or chilled. Slice thin. I hope you will enjoy.
Now that I have finished this post, I think I will go and have a slice of molasses brown bread, and a cup of tea.
