Wendie's Oat Bran Bread

Just out of the oven

My friend Wendie from Chapel Hill, N.C. is a great cook and baker, last summer we spent a lot of time together. She taught me how to make bread, one of my ancient dreams. She has a very good diet, specially since she is lactose, gluten and wheat intolerant, all her recipes are based on a good and healthy nutrition that goes in harmony with her body.


One of my favorite recipes of many she has made is her Oat Bran Bread. This bread is as light and delicious as healthy and filling, good for breakfast and travelling, specially by boat. It is very simple and fast to put all the ingredients together and baking it takes less than 15 minutes.

Ingredients:

1 cup oat bran
1 cup whole-grain buckwheat flour
1/2 tsp. salt
3 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 eggs
2 Tbs. olive oil
1/4 cup honey
1 cup rice milk


Preparation:


In medium bowl combine first 5 ingredients and set aside. In small bowl combine last 4 ingredients. Add eggs mixture to dry ingredients and mix well. Bake in greased 8" or 9" round or square pan at 400* for 25 minutes.


On my experience, when it stars smelling is almost ready, so I stick a butter knife in the middle and if it comes out dry it's done, I take it out of the oven and it's ready to eat. I also put some rolled oats on top before baking for decoration. Next morning you can heat it up in the microwave for 30 second and it taste like it just came out of the oven. If you are baking on a boat be careful, the boat's oven gets hotter, so don't set it too high and keep an eye on it.


Well, I hope you enjoy it, I just got one ready as we are sailing tomorrow.


It smells good!
