Grape Nuts Bread

This recipe is easy to make, and though it is a quick bread, the texture is like a yeast bread. It is from a cookbook called When Meals Were Meals.  The bread is a little sweet and full of the malty flavor of the cereal.  The author suggests to serve this with cream cheese.  I liked it best warm with butter or toasted.

Grape-Nuts Bread
1 c. Grape-Nuts
2 c. milk
1 egg, beaten
1/2 c. sugar
2 Tbsp. honey
3 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
4 tsp. baking powder

Combine Grape-Nuts and milk and let the cereal soak for 30 min.  Stir in egg, sugar and honey.  Combine and sift flour, salt and baking powder together.  Stir into Grape-Nut mixture and blend until smooth.  Spoon into greased loaf pan and bake at 375 degrees for 45 min.

Notes:  If you want to hurry the soaking process, combine the cereal and milk and microwave for 1-2 min. then allow it to cool to lukewarm.
