Baked-in-a-Can Health Bread

A dense, fiber-rich whole-grain bread baked in a coffee can for its distinctive round shape — an old-fashioned way to bake a hearty loaf without a bread pan.

What you'll need

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup wheat bran
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup molasses

Steps

1. Combine dry ingredients, then stir in buttermilk and molasses until just mixed.
2. Grease a clean 2-pound coffee can and fill halfway with batter.
3. Bake at 350°F for about 1 hour, until a tester comes out clean.
4. Cool 10 minutes before turning out of the can.
