Ingredients

• 4 cups whole wheat flour
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups buttermilk
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 cup raisins
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the flours, sugars, baking soda and salt. Stir in buttermilk and eggs just until moistened. Fold in raisins and nuts.

Pour into two 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pans coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Yield: 2 loaves (16 slices each).
