Ingredients

1	teaspoon	baking soda
1/2	cup	blackstrap molasses
1 1/2	cups	sour milk	or buttermilk
1 1/2	cups	bran
1/2	cup	raisins, seedless
1 1/2	cups	whole wheat flour

Directions

Dissolve soda in molasses, add sour milk and mix well.

Mix in bran and raisins.

Gradually fold in flour; turn into an 8x4x2 inch loaf pan greased or lined with wax paper, and spread evenly.

Bake 45 minutes in a moderate oven at 350F.

My variations: I substitute 3/4 cup skim milk + 3/4 cup skim yogurt for the buttermilk.

I substitute 1 1/2 cups oatmeal for the bran.

Last time I made this, I also added 2 grated carrots, and had nice carrot cake.

I also plump the raisins in the microwave with some water.
