And I have another recipe from my mom…Graham Cracker Bread. Hamburger and I have been snarfing it down all week.

My mom made this for us a few weeks ago and it was so yummy that I actually made some more. I know! I voluntarily baked something…it’s practically a miracle.

Graham Cracker Brown Bread

Cooking spray
4 teaspoons graham cracker crumbs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 large egg
1/3 cup dark molasses
1 cup fat-free buttermilk
1 cup raisins (note from softdrink, who generally hates raisins…use the golden raisins, they’re much better icon smile Weekend Cooking: Graham Cracker Bread )

Preheat oven to 350°.

Coat an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan with cooking spray; dust with 4 teaspoons crumbs.

Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt in large bowl, stirring with a whisk.

Place butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth (about 1 minute). Gradually add 1 cup crumbs; beat until well combined (about 2 minutes). Add egg, and beat 1 minute. Add molasses, and beat until well combined.

Beating at low speed, add flour mixture and buttermilk alternately to butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture; beat just until blended. Stir in raisins. Pour batter into prepared pan.

Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 15 minutes on a wire rack; remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.

Go make some…I promise it’s worth it!

    I’ve never heard of such a thing but it sounds wonderful and I do love the golden raisins. Headed out to the grocery store soon so I’ll have to pick some up and give this one a go!

    Falling over twice here — (1) you are contributing to Weekend Cooking (thanks to mom!) and (2) this sounds heavenly. Really. I mean it. Graham crackers, buttermilk, molasses, golden raisins …. Wish I hadn’t just eaten some peach oatmeal (homemade), cause I’d be baking right this second (and, yes, I have all the ingredients in the house).

    Oh.Em.Gee!

    This sounds like a slice of heaven. And by heaven I mean it goes straight to my thighs and doesn’t add an inch right?

    I’m not much of a cooker but baking I can handle (sometimes) so me thinks I might give this one a shot.
