Boston Brown Bread (Microwave)

Homemade brown bread bakes about as fast as opening and heating a can of ready-made. Baked beans are not the only companion for brown bread. Try it with casseroles and stews.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup graham or whole wheat flour
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1/4 cup cornmeal
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. baking soda
• 1/4 tsp. salt (optional)
• 1/4 cup egg substitute
• 2 Tbsp. molasses
• 2 Tbsp. corn oil
• 1/2 cup buttermilk or sour milk
• 1/4 cup raisins

Directions:

Lightly spray 3 (8 oz.) glass custard cups with nonstick vegetable cooking spray.

Sift together the flours, cornmeal, baking powder, soda, and salt.

In mixing bowl, combine the egg, molasses and oil

Add the flour mixture to molasses mixture alternately with milk; mix well. Stir in raisins.

Spoon into measuring cups. Microwave 2 minutes on high. Rearrange cups. Microwave 2 - 2 1/2 minutes on high or until done. Tops may be moist. Cool in cups 5 minutes.

Serve warm, sliced
