¾ cup whole wheat flour
1 cup Bran Buds cereal
1 tbsp. baking powder

1 cup apple, peeled, cored and grated
1 cup grated carrots (1-2 carrots)
½ cup chopped pitted dates
½ cup chopped walnuts, toasted
2 tbsp. toasted sesame seeds

Directions
Preheat oven to 350F and line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper sprayed with cooking spray.
In a bowl, combine the flours, cereal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the “s” blade, combine the egg, milk, oil, sugar, and molasses.
