Bake: 1 hr
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
- Combine dry ingredients, then stir in buttermilk and molasses until just mixed.
- Grease a clean 2-pound coffee can and fill halfway with batter.
- Bake at 350°F for about 1 hour, until a tester comes out clean.
- Cool 10 minutes before turning out of the can.
Tip: Use an unlined, undamaged metal can free of any coating — check that it's food-safe before baking in it.
