Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. Grease two 8x4-inch loaf pans with oil or non-stick spray.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, whole wheat flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and dry non-fat milk powder.
  4. Stir in oatmeal, brown sugar, chopped peanuts, chopped walnuts, raisins, and chopped prunes until evenly distributed.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, beat eggs until foamy.
  6. Mix in oil, molasses, orange juice, and mashed banana until well combined.
  7. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  8. Divide batter evenly between the two prepared loaf pans.
  9. Bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Allow loaves to cool in pans for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
