Time 55m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup quick-cooking barley
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup milk, warmed
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 large eggs
1/2 cup carrot, grated
1/2 cup apple, grated
1/2 cup golden raisin
1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F
  • Take your quick-cook barley and grind it, using either a blender or a grain mill. It will come out finer with a mill, but a blender works fine as well.
  • Put the ground barley in the warmed milk while you assemble the remainder of the batter.
  • Combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, backing soda, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs, add the melted butter, and the milk/barley mixture.
  • Combine in the dry ingredients until just mixed.
  • Mix in the grated carrots and apples.
  • Fold in the pecans and raisins.
  • For the optional topping, mix together all the ingredients until coarse crumbs form.
  • Pour the batter into either a greased loaf pan or muffin tins.
  • If desired, sprinkle on the crumb topping.
  • Bake muffins for about 25 minutes, and the bread for about 35-40 minutes.
