Raisin Bran Bread image

Easy & delicious idea for a last minute breakfast potluck or holiday gift. It looks beautiful, too. I'm not sure where this recipe came from, but it could have originally been from a cereal box. Post Raisin Bran has the biggest flakes, which makes it look especially pretty for presentation, but any raisin bran cereal will do....

  • 8. Gently press topping and walnut halves into the batter.
  • 9. Bake 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan on wire rack, then remove bread from pan and cool completely...
