So easy to make and tasty too! My bread baked for 50 minutes, rose nicely and the finished product is just great. I used light molasses and for the rest made it just as stated. The bread is easy to cut, does not crumble and has a nice hint of sweetness from the raisins and molasses. It is good with cream cheese, yellow cheese and just plain too.<br/>Very pleased I decided to make this.<br/>Thanks for posting.<br/>Made for My-3-Chefs, June 2012.

Very yummy! Would also make a great whole grain muffin. I used a nice four berry jam as a topper for a delightful Sunday morning sweet!
