Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups buttermilk, well shaken
- ½ cup molasses
- ¾ cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and grease an 8 ½ x 4 ½-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, sift or whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually stir in the buttermilk and molasses until just combined, being careful not to over-mix. Fold in the raisins.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Cover the pan tightly with buttered aluminum foil, allowing room for the bread to expand in the center.
- Bake for 50 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
For added flavor, consider incorporating nuts such as walnuts or pecans into the batter.
Ensure the buttermilk is well shaken for proper mixing.
Store any leftover bread in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
