Oat Bran Date Bread

I loved this recipe. I used a cup of steel cut oats and a cup of "Fiber One" cereal w/ fat free yogurt and a bit of mashed banana as an egg sub. The spices this recipe calls for are an awesome combo - the amount of cinnamon freaked me out for a minute, but along with the ginger and cardamom it became the most delicious blend of sweet heat that played very nicely along with the different quality of sweetness that the molasses and dates have naturally. The loaf has the richest looking brown color, so the presentation is impressive as well. I loved the sweetness contrasting with the the hearty nuttiness of the bran and whole wheat. Thanks for this recipe LDJ it is DIVINE!!!

This bread is incredible! the only modifications I made were to leave out the cardamom (simply because I didn't have any) and the salt (because we're really trying to cut back on sodium). I will definitely be making this one again!

This tastes a bit like gingerbread to me but is much more nutritious. I used half oat bran and half All Bran cereal. I let the cereal/water/date mixture sit for 5 minutes or so. Used 1 cup whole spelt flour instead of the white and whole wheat. Used ground flax for the egg substitute and added 1 tsp. vanilla. It develops flavor after sitting a day or two. Very nice.

Very spicy bread. Nice and dense with lovely bits of fruit. I used all whole wheat pastry flour and was happy with the way this came out. Warm with just a touch of butter you forget that it is good for you!
