Although this month of September is starting off with quite the hot forecast, we have some fall welcoming flavors for you to enjoy at Bob’s Red Mill. Our special recipe this month is a hearty whole grain quick bread, highlighting the delicious Bob’s Red Mill Apple, Cinnamon and Grains Hot Cereal. The cereal is made from a blend of stone ground hard red wheat, rye, triticale, oats, barley, brown rice, oat bran, flaxseed, natural dried apples and cinnamon. The abundance of whole grains in this cereal is baked with sweet apple sauce and honey to produce a satisfying texture.

This recipe bakes up nicely as a muffin or in a bread pan, and is especially delicious sliced with a pat of butter or jam. Enjoy this recipe at home or come on in to the Whole Grain Store and buy a loaf for $3.50. Happy Baking and see you soon!
