Honey Oatmeal Raisin Quick Bread
Recipe adapted from Eating Well by Aparna @ My Diverse Kitchen
Ingredients:


1 1/3 cup whole wheat flour

1 cup + 1 1/2 tbsp rolled oats

1 cup all purpose flour

2 1/4 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 cup plain low fat yogurt

1 cup low fat milk

1/4 cup oil

1/4 cup mild flavoured honey

1 tbsp powdered flax seed + 3 tbsp warm water

1/2 cup golden raisins



Method:


Place all the dry ingredients (the first 6 ingredients above, keeping the 1 1/2 tbsp of oats aside) in a bowl and whisk a couple of times to mix them well. Add the raisins and mix again, ensuring the raisins are well-coated with the flour.

In another bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients just enough to mix them. Make a well ion the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it. Very gently mix the two together, taking care not to over mix. The batter will be quite thick and lumpy.

Scrape this batter into a greased loaf pan and sprinkle the 1 1/2 tbsp of oats on top. Bake the loaf at 190C for about 45 minutes till the top is brown (not dark) and a skewer/ knife inserted into the loaf comes out clean.
Cool the loaf in the tin for about 15 to 20 minutes and then turn it out on a rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve.
This bread tastes better the next day. Its excellent, when toasted and buttered, along with a cup of coffee or tea.
